The does file end up in the .data segment though. After some research I have 
added this rule to my makefile:

%.o: %.binres
        $(OBJCOPY) --rename-section 
.data=.text,alloc,load,readonly,code,contents \
      --input-target=binary --output-target=elf32-avr  $< $@

And then list the o-file with the other objectfiles.


I have not made code to read it yet, but it seems to link correct.
Thankyou for leading me on track,
