What do you mean by "merge". They remain as two separate computer 
programs (or parts thereof, if you like) under copyright law. No 
protected expression was transformed/modified forming a derivative 
work. Combined executable is just an aggregation of many computer 
program works under copyright law. If you insist I can supply you 
with maps that will allow you to extract all those distinct 
components.
