[Bug binutils/1391] objcopy trashes PE executable when using "add-gnu-debuglink"

[focht at gmx dot net]

Hello again,

currently one can fix this manually by executing additional step:

objcopy --change-section-vma .gnu_debuglink=+<addr> test_xxx.exe

Where <addr> is the address of first debug section in "objdump -h <executable>".

That seems to work.
The executable can be loaded and executed under cygwin x86/gcc 4.0.x toolchain
and binutils 2.16.1*
Gdb locates the external symbol file and loads it.

I did a grep on the sources but could not really find a location where the wrong
VMA might be produced..
Could this be a bug in bfd library itself?

Regards,

A. Focht
