[ECOS] binutils wizardry

["Doyle, Patrick" <WPD at dtccom dot com>]

I have an existing application that I load onto my device with RedBoot.  I
have a raw binary data file that I also load onto my device that my
application expects to find in memory at address 0x80000.  I would like to
figure out some method, preferably _after_ I've linked my main application,
to glue these two pieces together into a single ELF file so that I could
download both pieces in one swell foop.

I'm reasonably sure I can do this with some subset of the programs in
binutils, but I'm not too sure where to start.  I vaguely remember looking
at how Linux gets gzip'ed for booting (10 or more years ago), so I'll
probably start there, but, in the mean time, I thought I would ask for some
pointers.

Any pointers?
