   What does adding this do?

It sets the n_type field of all function symbols to DT_FCN << N_BTSHFT
(e.g., 0x20).  The Microsoft PE documentation says that this is
required for all function symbols, for some reason involving
incremental linking.

I doubt it matters for cygwin32.  It's just a minor cleanup of the
Win32 toolchain.
