Fw: Fw: ld not picking up .bss sections from Digital Fortran

["Suhaib M. Siddiqi" <Ssiddiqi@InspirePharm.Com>]

At the request of Delorie from Cygnus, I am forwarding a copy of the
following patch, which was sent to me by Mr. joe Sirott

----------------------------

The following patch for bfd/peicode.h was sent to me by Joe Sirott.
 According to him this patch allowed him to use *.bass files from
Digital
Fortran.

I have not tried it myself.  This is what Joe wrote about his patch

 I think it might be of use to others therefore I am forwarding it to
 Cygwin list.
