Can LD link a raw binary directly?


Hi All,

I want to put the data of a test file into the output ELF so that
I can use the test data directly without FS operations.
The tranditional way is to convert the binary test file to C array
intializers text,
and then compile the source including the array, and link objects.
But this solution seems awkward. The flowchat of this solution is like:
 binary without format --> text --> binary in ELF format
So I wonder if LD can directly link binaries without format, as it does to
binaries in ELF format.
