This is slightly offtopic, but maybe some of the Windows folks know an
answer to this question. I've been working on #9686
<https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9686>, but have been blocked by
Windows rejecting all my attempts to add a custom section to a binary
withthe error "bash: ./c.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format
error".

I'm not sure if this is a gcc/binutils bug or not (the exact same commands
with the same tools work fine on Linux binaries). I have filed
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/2239 and
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17466 to see what the
developers say, but have not gotten a response yet. Perhaps someone here
knows what's going on?
