Sorry for that last, google's automagic is screwing up sometimes.

When we take a file out of LAR, we lose the LAR header. That header,
for payloads, is derived from ELF. So the extract from LAR loses
information.

If we had an option to pull a file from LAR, and generate an ELF, we
can then put that file in another LAR later. That's my understanding
of it.
