Hi Awson,

  The patch may solve the problem, but it introduces a large number of new
testsuite failures (ld, gas and binutils), so it is not acceptable as is.  If
you have the time, please could you try investigating the following:

Checking Binutils in: x86_64-pc-cygwin ... GAS: 5 LD: 23 BIN: 2 done
  GAS Fail: struct    
  GAS Fail: macro test 1  
  LD Fail: -l: test   
  LD Fail: ALIGNOF    
  LD Fail: DEFINED (PRMS 5699)  
  LD Fail: ld-scripts/defined3    
  LD Fail: ld-scripts/pr14962    
  LD Fail: EXTERN    
  LD Fail: ld-scripts/provide-5    
  LD Fail: MRI script   
  LD Fail: SIZEOF    
  LD Fail: --entry 0x0   
  BIN Fail: objcopy (simple copy)
  BIN Fail: --localize-hidden test 2  

These are just the failures for one COFF/PE based targets.  There are lots of
others as well...

I suspect that there are some assumptions about the size of the internal_syment
structure in the BFD library.  But that is just a guess.

Cheers
  Nick
