No. The file format for ELF object modules didn't change.

Simplified, an object library contains object modules and symbols.
Object modules are more or less blobs. The symbols are in a separate
list, each pointing to the module, where it is defined. The symbol table
in ELF objects didn't change and it is only used to create the library's
symbol table. The header field e_machine has a different value. The
section names are different. The contents of some sections are
different: code, relocations, unwind information. All that is not in the
interest of librarian.

With your bare hands?!?
