[comp.lang.c++] pre/post-linking activity

I don't have access to a C++ compiler, but I infer from the manual that
implementing certain features (at least for a C++ compiler whose output is
C source) requires some special extra fiddling by another piece of software
(or a hacked linker) at link time.  Can someone outline to me what-all
must be fiddled with and how different implementations have addressed this
problem?  Do the solutions generally involve intimate knowledge of the
target object code format or have portable solutions been implemented?
