  Seems sane to me.  It works by resetting the VMA after it's been used in
lang_size_sections_1 and the subsequent size calculations rather than zeroing
it out before these are done, yes?

  It looks right, fixes the testcase reported on the cygwin lists, doesn't
cause any regressions.  The one thing I don't have is a x86_64-pc-mingw32
cross-compiler with which to test the original testcase in PR ld/6945, but I
think you should go ahead and check it in.

  My computer is pretty loaded right now but I'll be able to put it through a
thorough test cycle against loads of targets tomorrow.  Tristan, can we put
this on the branch?  What's your timescale for finalising the release now?

    cheers,
