This is probably the right thing to do, but breaks building msys2-runtime (read: cygwin) 3.3, because the _cygheap_start symbol is actually in the .rsrc section and code very early attempts to memset _cygheap_start. Couple of questions:
1) is there actually a good reason that _cygheap_start is in the .rsrc and not the .cygheap section? 2) how could I make the .rsrc section read/write again? I attempted to use objcopy --set-section-flags .rsrc=contents,alloc,load,data a.dll b.dll (or a.o b.o with .o files straight out of windres), but it does not seem to actually clear the readonly flag. I was able to set the 'code' flag, so it is actually finding the right section.
