Maybe someone else reads your ticket therefore this is what I did instead:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78555828/adding-custom-section-to-pe-with-gcc-mingw

Basically I had the same issue like you but found a workaround:

$ echo 'int main() { puts ("Hello world"); }' | gcc -x c - -c -o main.o
$ echo "this is my special data" >mydata
$ objcopy --add-section .mydata=mydata main.o
$ gcc main.o -o main
$ objdump -h main.exe

The difference is one adds the new section to the .o file instead the exe.
