            Bug ID: 30142
           Summary: PE .rsrc section is generated as writable
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.39
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: pali at kernel dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

PE resources in .rsrc section should be read-only but LD/windres generates them
as read-write. Simple test case:

$ cat empty.c
void empty(void) {}

$ cat test-rsrc.rc
1 VERSIONINFO
BEGIN
END

$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres --input-format=rc --output-format=coff
--input=test-rsrc.rc --output=test-rsrc.o

$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -nostartfiles -e empty empty.c test-rsrc.o -o
test-rsrc.exe

$ readpe test-rsrc.exe | grep -A 11 'Name:\s*\.rsrc'
export directory not found
