Thank you! I believe you just pointed me to the correct fix. The problem 
is that currently the i386-pe ld is trying to write out the export 
table in after_open, hence there are actually symbols with 
bfd_link_hash_common, and things are going haywire. I'll redo it so that 
it's done in ldemul_finish instead.

Mumit
