There's a good chance this is due to my 2004-06-24 section sizing
change.  Build binutils from source just before this change went in, and
see if ld is good.  Assuming it is, compare hello.exe before and after
the patch.  Any change is suspicious, apart from the silly timestamp in
pe files.  objdump will let you look at section sizes..
