The correct fix is probably to ensure that HAS_SECTION_DIRECTIVE is not defined 
on win32 (or just change it to #ifdef __ELF__, since I think that is only 
needed on ELF platforms).

I believe that for win32, you should be able to replace this entire sequence 
with a direct reference to SmallObjectClasses, as DLLs on Win32 are not 
position-independent code (the sequence from the call 7f to the leal are just 
finding the address of SmallObjectClasses).  

I believe that Mathieu had some patches to fix the memory allocation in 
block_to_imp.c correctly.
