I have managed to achieve that with a little help from build.rs.

This is the part that goes into the binary and puts the data into the linker section:

And this is be build script preparing the data: https://github.com/Shnatsel/rust-audit/blob/2be53a791c4ae76bda8471401fd46daa48d89a8c/auditable-build/src/lib.rs#L10

I'm not sure we can easily do this, I think in our case it'd require the project invoking us to have a build.rs, which is currently not required. The next optimization would be if rust had a bytes_concat!() macro that produced an [u8; N] array (and not &[u8]). But for now this works well enough, even if it's ugly.

Thanks for the suggestion though!
