I noticed that binutils doesn't support the DllCharacteristics field of PE
files, always putting 0 there. How might support for it be added in a
future binutils?
The flags that would go there are "NX-compatible", "Terminal Services-aware"
and "ASLR-compatible".
ASLR-compatible should require that relocation data be emitted, either DLL
or -pie. NX-compatible could validate that the entry point is in an
executable section.
