By modifying the linker script a bit and adding the NRO0 header directly
in the assembly, it's possible to craft an ELF file that can be
converted straight to a binary (using objcopy or similar) that is a NRO
file. This avoids custom code for NRO files or an extra build step.
With another change, .nro files are recognized by TinyGo so that this
will create a ready-to-run NRO file:
tinygo build -o test.nro -target=nintendoswitch examples/serial

The dev branch is currently broken for the Switch, #1368 fixes that (and when I rebase the changes on top of that branch, I get a working .nro file).
The end goal is to get
tinygo run -target=nintendoswitchto work, that will require some more changes besides this one.
