what i've seen & done in the past is:
$ cat rc.S
.data
.global RC_SYM
RC_SYM:
.incbin RC_FILE
.size RC_SYM,.-RC_SYM

$ ls -l a.out
-rwxr-xr-x 1 vapier vapier 8378 Oct 23 14:01 a.out
$ gcc -c rc.S -DRC_SYM=my_bin_data -DRC_FILE='"a.out"'
$ readelf -sW rc.o | grep my_bin_data
     4: 0000000000000000  8378 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 my_bin_data
