the installnn.fs image will have the file sets in there already. No need to copy.

I took a look at how libasr does it, and I have similar code ie. pack8(),
pack16(), pack32(), I will just change all my functions, as unalignment
flags passed per -m aren't standard on every arch. I did use __packed on
structs already but the way libasr does is a great example I think.
It's a bit of work but the fact that this could work on architectures like
octeon make it worth it for me.
Thanks a lot!
