You would probably get more of a response if you were to ask on the 
project list. I've copied the list on this response.

I learned about binutils and relocs the old fashioned way...I started 
with the project home page at

http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/

There's a link there for all of the project documentation. Then it was a 
look at the source code of existing ports. If you're considering an elf 
target, look at the headers in include/elf and the various target 
specific sources in bfd/elfxx-<target>.c (where xx is 32 or 64).

If there are other resources, I hope others on this list will point them 
out. You should probably subscribe to the list to make sure you get all 
of the responses. Otherwise you can check the archives at

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/

I hope this gets you started.
