commit 32ae0d80cd430150ad9536aa160f34f504e129bc
Author: Nick Clifton <address@hidden>
Date:   Fri Apr 11 16:02:52 2014 +0100

    PE32+ binaries that use addresses > 1^32 have a problem in that the linker
    converts some address expressions into absolute values, but the PE format
    only stores absolutes as 32-bits.  This is a partial solution which
attempts
    to convert such absolute values back to section relative ones instead.  It
    fails for symbols like __image_base and ImageBase__, but it is unclear as
to
    whether these values are ever actually used by applications.

        PR ld/16821
        * peXXigen.c (abs_finder): New function.
        (_bfd_XXi_swap_sym_out): For absolute symbols with values larger
        than 1^32 try to convert them into section relative values
        instead.
