I seem to recall that the PE file format does not allow sections to 
start at address 0 and that this causes problems for debug sections.

Probably the simplest way to fix this problem is to amend the PE linker 
script (ld/scripttempl/pe.sc) and add an explicit entry for the 
.gnu_debuglink section.

If this works, please could you submit a patch so that we can apply it 
to the mainline sources.

Cheers
