As this is kind of ugly - did you try whether binutils can be talked
into generating an architecture neutral ELF object (using EM_NONE
as the architecture in the ELF header), and whether that could
then be linked? Of course that would be of limited use of the blob
was other than a plain stream of bytes (i.e. endian independent).

Jan

You get EM_NONE when you omit the -B argument, but the linker refuses
to accept this as an input unless passed --accept-unknown-input-arch.
With this flag enabled, the built_in.o is binary equal.
