I noticed that, windows excutables, generated with cygwin tools, have
some data in the binary, which is not part of any of the image sections.
It is located after the .stab* sections. If I strip with --strip-all
this data is removed. If strip with --strip-debug or --strip-unneeded
some of this data is left in the image.

What is this data used for ?
