Re: unstriped PE executables contain data from the import library after the end of the last section - is this correct ?

I was advised to post to the binutils and/or cygwin ml, when I
initially posted on cygwin-apps.  Now, it seems that neither binutils
people, nor anyone on cygwin is interested to answer this question.

Is the answer really that obvious so noone cares to answer ?

It's apparent that no one KNOWS the answer. I'd have to hunt thru the binutils code to answer your question. But it's your question -- you hunt thru the code.
