IA64 PE/COFF (efi-app-ia64) image has bad VirtualSize field

Yes - in fact I was able to use a binary chop method to locate the
exact problem.  It was this change to peicode.h:

  2003-04-03  Nick Clifton  <nickc@redhat.com>

	* peXXigen.c (_bfd_XXi_swap_scnhdr_out): Compute ps and ss
	differently for object files and executables.
	* peicode.h (coff_swap_scnhdr_in): Only set the s_size field
	for object files or for executables who have not already
	initialised the field.
	* libpei.h (bfd_pe_executable_p): New macro.  Return true if
	the PE format bfd is an executable.

which was later fixed by this patch:

  2003-08-18  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

	* libpei.h (bfd_pe_executable_p): Also recognize efi-app
	executables.

Hence applying the attached patch to your 2.14 sources and then
rebuilding/reinstalling should fix the problem.

Cheers
        Nick
