Not every ELF file *can* work at all, even -- an ELF executable states
the address it wants to run at, let's hope there is some free memory
there!

The usual case is one or two segments: either one RWX, or one RX and
one RW.


Every payload executable in LAR should be *one* file in LAR.  Mixing
details of the binary format into the archiver is ludicrous.  Whether
to use ELF or not is a separate issue.
