Thanks for reminding me, I had seen this but never investigated.
This appears to be a hack in ld/emultempl/pe.em (function set_pe_name).
When ld sets __image_base__, it duplicates it into __ImageBase. It
matches a macro MSIMAGEBASEOFF, whereas __image_base__ matches
IMAGEBASEOFF, so it is probably there for compatibility with some MS
tool.
Using it instead of the other symbol in my test gives no change.
Oh well, it was worth a try :-(
