Invalid win32 application

["Kher, Manisha" <kher@mc.com>]

I'm building an application that links with a library that was built
using Visual studio. When I try to run the application in a cygwin
window, I get an error saying "Permission denied". If I try to run it
from a DOS window, I get an error message "... is not a valid Win32
application".

If I strip the executable, the stripped version runs.

The difference between the stripped and non-stripped version is a
section named .sxdata which is the first section in the invalid
executable.

$ objdump -h gdb.exe

gdb.exe:     file format pei-i386

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .sxdata       00000008  00000000  00000000  000002e0  2**2
                  CONTENTS, READONLY, DEBUGGING
  1 .text         001d5520  00401000  00401000  00000600  2**4
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, CODE
  2 .data         00040970  005d7000  005d7000  001d5c00  2**4
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
  3 .rdata        000668b0  00618000  00618000  00216600  2**4
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
  4 .bss          0001d208  0067f000  0067f000  00000000  2**4
                  ALLOC
  5 .idata        00001f18  0069d000  0069d000  0027d000  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA

Has anyone run into this problem before?
I'm on Windows 2000.

Thanks
Manisha
