One thing I found in all the PE linkers that I've built from binutils 2.7.*
(and I assume the Cygwin32 ld is among them) is that they corrupt the symbol
and relocation tables when doing an "ld -r". The symptom I've seen is that
all the text symbols start at around -0x400000, while the relocations are
at offset 0x400000+ into the text section, after an ld -r.

I'm going to start debugging the problem in a few days (when I get done with
my more severe problems).
