Ah, flag 0x00020000 has not only two differet names IMAGE_SCN_MEM_16BIT and
IMAGE_SCN_MEM_PURGEABLE, but also two different meanings. For
IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_I386 it is means that section is 16-bit, for
IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_M68K it is set when section is executable (not sure why) and
for other IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_* it seems to do nothing. It looks like that MS
used flag 0x00020000 for platform specific things. I guess that other "aliased"
flags would have also different meanings for different platforms...

I created bug #30496 and described here how IMAGE_SCN_MEM_16BIT behaves.
