For now, I rebuilt only Binutils 2.32 with the patch. The patch seems to be
working, in the sense that the section flags are now different:
D:\usr\eli>objdump -h -j .gnu_debuglink ./hello.exe
./hello.exe: file format pei-i386
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
8 .gnu_debuglink 00000014 00416000 00416000 00004c00 2**2
CONTENTS, READONLY, DEBUGGING
Is this DEBUGGING flag expected to be there? Because with it, stock GDB 8.2
still emits the warning; removing the flag also removes teh warning, as before.
This flag is not shown on GNU/Linux, as I reported above.
I will rebuild GDB tomorrow and wee if that fixes the problem.

Will do if the problem remains after rebuilding GDB.
Thanks.
