donald -- the Mickey Mouse of dynamic linkers

donald doesn't really do dynamic linking... it's just the groundwork. In particular, it doesn't load depended-on libraries or apply relocations. It also doesn't implement TLS, except in a hacky way so that the initial thread can use TLS variables like errno.

It does do bootstrap relocation, auxv futzing, and mapping the segments of the executable. That's enough groundwork to be approachable for study purposes. I may expand it, but perhaps not much.
