And please take it into account, that "5", mentioned in the code above, means the size of the "jmp L2" instruction, which is five in 32-bit assembler, but it will take nine bytes in the 64-bit one. And of course, I'm talking only about x86/64 assembler. Don't know anything about PowerPC one.

this is way overkill. You can simply write a simple utility to dump the content of your resource in a C file:

static char foo[] = {
        0x01, 0x02, 0x03,
...
};

You don't need to use assembly nor to create bogus functions to get the address of foo.
