section bug?

[SONE Takeshi]

In Cygwin32 and Mingw32 environment with binutils 2.9.4, this code
crashes:

int a __attribute__((section("mysec"))) = 0;
main()
{
	a = 1;
}

gcc looks doing right thing:

.section	mysec,"w"
	.align 4
_a:
	.long 0

I run dumpbin.exe (from MS) on the output and it says that mysec in the
.o file is marked Read Only, and in the .exe file it is marked Code and
Read Only.
