Build failue while cross-compiling

When cross compiling, the `linux_resource_linker` is not an executable binary on the build system. Is it possible to split this out into a separate repository/project to make it simpler to build this binary on the build system?

Start with the linux_resource_linker used during cross-compilation and trace how it is built and invoked on the build system. Determine whether separating it into another repository or project would address the non-executable binary problem. Done would require an agreed scope and a buildable linker binary for cross-compilation.
