--- Comment #3 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
Right - so first of all I wish to point out that although I did create the
patch that is causing all of these problems, I am not a PE file format expert. 
So it is entirely likely that I made mistakes.  And I am totally OK with the
patch being backed out, or broken up, or corrected.

The intention was to allow objcopy's --section-alignment option to not only set
the SectionAlignment field in the PE format's optional header but to also set
the IMAGE_SCN_ALIGN_POWER field in the pe_flags field of each section's data. 
(Since presumably the PE header's value is a minimum required alignment, so
individual sections should also have at least this much alignment).

This change was at the request of a user, although if I remember correctly they
did not file a enhancement request PR for this.  So if necessary we can search
through the email archives to find the original posting.
