Not unless you need to link gcc-compiled code against .8
libraries. I assume the libraries could be rebuilt in ELF
format by recompiling with the putative Plan9 gcc. Without
even looking, one knows that there has to be a way to embed
binary data within .8 object files, so just copy the linked
image out as binary data within the .8 file.
