Hmm... I have done the following and for me it doesn't work... maybe I didn't
all the right things.

I downloaded the source of current binutils (binutils-2.24.51-2) in Cygwin,
then I have applied the patch,

  $ patch tmp/binutils-2.24.51-2/bfd/peXXigen.c binutils-peXXigen.c.patch


and have built with

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/binutils-test
  $ make
  $ make install


After this, I have started another mintty window and changed the PATH,

  $ export PATH="/usr/local/binutils-test/bin:$PATH"


and compiled my test case,

  $ windres dlg_one.rc -O coff -o dlg_one.res
  $ gcc -Wall -mwindows dlg_one.c dlg_one.res -o dlg_one.out


but it doesn't work as expected, always the same issues.


But, as I said, probably I didn't the right things. At this point, someone more
expert in binutilis should test the patch.


Thanks,
 Angelo.
