MSVC linker

[Tim Iverson]

This is a copy of a mailing re: linking without LD for b17, perhaps it will
help you link with MSVC.  The patch fixes a format incompatibility between
addresses in GNU b17 (and b18?) objects and true Microsoft PE objects.

| I've applied this patch and it does indeed allow one to link objects
| produced by GCC with a different linker than LD.  I used Phar-Lap's
| linker, but I suspect this fix would also be sufficient for others.

| Thanks Sean!
