A few programs are not compatible with --large-address-aware which is

and smartmontools use IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT which apparently
requires user buffers below 2GiB.
Using "LDFLAGS=-Wl,--disable-large-address-aware" would be much easier
than adding an extra Cygwin specific "peflags --bigaddr=false *.exe"
post-build step.
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-04/msg00342.html :-)
With the attached patch, "gcc -Wl,--disable-large-address-aware ..."
works as expected. Documentation update is missing.
It would probably make sense to add a --enable-large-address-aware
option as a synonym for --large-address-aware to keep enable/disable
options consistent.
There is a similar issue with --tsaware. It is enabled by default in
spec file but cannot be disabled in gcc command line. I don't know
whether there is a need for --disable-tsaware.
