For the filename, we could figure out a good way to add it to the .comment section of the ELF - that could open up a new world of passing information to LAR via the .o without the command line. Or am I super double guilty for invoking black magic?
FILO explicitly gets rid of all ELF notes during build, except the name/version for elfboot, with a reference to gcc producing many junk notes.
Another thought:
While it's probably quite possible to send stuff from .c to larball - is this really something we want to do?
Should non-code information in .c really have to be in the larball?
Or, put a bit differently, should the file in the larball really need to have information from a .c that is not code?
