[PATCH] Generate "correct" PE executables with low alignment

[Filip Navara]

This patch solves one part of the infamous problem of "ld" generating 
incorrect PE binaries when low alignment is specified. The section 
virtual memory layout must match the on-disk layout of the file in this 
case (as the PE standard says). There's still other problem with the 
".bss" section not accepted by the Windows loader and thus rejecting the 
generated executables. So far I haven't solved that in proper way, but I 
have workaround: Merge the .bss section at the end of .data section and 
move .data as the last loadable section in the file.
