".bc" and ".o" files are identical in contents, they just differ in
suffix.

That will do more than you want.  It will link in the standard C libraries
and some other support stuff, using the gccld utility.  If you _just_ want
to link the two bytecode files together into a new bytecode file, use the
'link' utility like this:

link stuff.o code.s.bc -o out.bc
