How to add icon to elf?

Generally you don't. Icons are specific to the desktop you use (unlike Windows, where there's only one desktop).

As to making an ELF from scratch, start with a nice template (in NASM format, expect a few tweaks to be needed):

Code:

  BITS 32
  
                org     0x08048000
  
  ehdr:                                                 ; Elf32_Ehdr
                db      0x7F, "ELF", 1, 1, 1            ;   e_ident
        times 9 db      0
                dw      2                               ;   e_type
                dw      3                               ;   e_machine
                dd      1                               ;   e_version
                dd      _start                          ;   e_entry
                dd      phdr - $$                       ;   e_phoff
                dd      0                               ;   e_shoff
                dd      0                               ;   e_flags
                dw      ehdrsize                        ;   e_ehsize
                dw      phdrsize                        ;   e_phentsize
                dw      1                               ;   e_phnum
                dw      0                               ;   e_shentsize
                dw      0                               ;   e_shnum
                dw      0                               ;   e_shstrndx
  
  ehdrsize      equ     $ - ehdr
  
  phdr:                                                 ; Elf32_Phdr
                dd      1                               ;   p_type
                dd      0                               ;   p_offset
                dd      $$                              ;   p_vaddr
                dd      $$                              ;   p_paddr
                dd      filesize                        ;   p_filesz
                dd      filesize                        ;   p_memsz
                dd      5                               ;   p_flags
                dd      0x1000                          ;   p_align
  
  phdrsize      equ     $ - phdr
  
  _start:
  
  ; your program here
  
  filesize      equ     $ - $$

And use the ELF specs (http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/ELF.txt) to determine where in the header to add additional sections.
