The linker applies compression depending on the compression type specified, and might apply additional compression on repeated phrases.
Run-length compression encodes data as non-repeated bytes and repeated zero-bytes.
Non-repeated bytes are output unchanged, followed by a count of zero-bytes.

corresponding to:
The position of the phrase in the previously-seen buffer of data.
