But I just wondered why the data had to be passed through GCC?  The
binary data could be read from an external file.  Or if they really need
to be linked into the resulting shared library, why not put them in
there _directly_ i.e. with objcopy:

objcopy --input-target=binary --binary-architecture=elf32-i386 \
        bloomfilter.dat library.o

or something...
