    Cygwin: dllfixdbg: create .gnu_debuglink section in the right spot
    
    A recent change in binutils marks the .gnu_debuglink_overlay section
    as debug section.  When dllfixdbg calls objcopy -g, the section
    is removed and the --add-gnu-debuglink option on the same command line
    appends the section consequentially at the end of the sections.
    This in turn breaks Windows Version info and, potentially, raising
    the cygheap size at runtime.
    
    Fix this by adding an explicit --keep-section=.gnu_debuglink_overlay
    to the objcopy command line.
