Well, if SDL is using Win32 functions to create threads then that's
something that needs to be fixed in SDL.

Probably not, I don't think this bug has been reported yet. I modified
my copy of GCC to not put constants in .rdata, and put them in .text
like older versions of GCC used to do. That's not a good fix though.
A better fix would be to modify binutils to so that .rdata has a hardcoded
16-byte input section alignment, just like .text and .data have currently.
The proper fix would be for binutils to actually support section alignment
in PE COFF object files.
