No doubt GNU LD could be modified to handle compound executables, or a separate
utility could be used to produce them from individual architecture-specific
executables.  The problem, however, is that the kernel must be modified to
understand how to select and run the correct executable from a compound
executable.  So when there is a GNU kernel, adding this support could be
done rather easily I expect; without source to the kernel, there's no way
to do this.
