configure: Force mingw's ld to keep the reloc section Binutils will always strip the relocation information from executable files even if it needs it (dynamicbase/ASLR). We can work around this by using the pic-executable flag combined with setting the correct entry point since apparently ld forgets what that should be. This problem affects both 32 and 64-bit mingw-w64.
