There are easier/quicker ways than that...

If what you propose will be useful (which it will _IN THIS CASE_) then 
simply "hex to binary" decoding the hex-ified overflow data blocks will 
(normally) also work, as it did here and requires a much lighter 
toolset than a full-blown build environment.
