So this is a result of .bss requiring 32k alignment, but COFF/PE only allowing for up to 8k, and ld neither checking nor truncating the value (which thus spills over into the next bit). I'm trying to put together a binutils fix, but as said earlier the flag being set is supposed to be benign in an executable.
