I've got a small commandline-tool that makes a const'd char -array

It seems to me it would be more efficient to use objcopy to turn that
binary file directly into an object file with symbols accessible from C
code defining its beginning and ending points. Then just link it into
the executable.

 
None of my compilers, whether for C or anything else, generate object
files.

That’s too bad. All the good compilers, for languages like C and others
which are meant to execute efficiently, do.
