It replaces the creation of a big .cpp with a char[] containing the data
by two passes, first creating a .cpp with an empty array of the final
size and a second pass that patches the .o file to have the proper
contents.

I am not aware of such. But you should be able to use the feature
nevertheless by replacing the monolithic rcc build step by 
suitable rcc -pass 1 ... and rcc -pass 2 ... steps, similar to
what mkspecs/features/resources.prf does around line 100.
