[PATCH] gcc3/ld patch for direct-linking-to-dll and auto-import support

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi

while compiling trolltechs qt/xfree library with gcc3 (3.2x) on cygwin I
recognized, that the auto-import stuff in combination of recent ld does not work
in case of const variables in a dll when using direct linking to a dll, because
gcc put those variables into a readonly, that means the .text section.

The patch and a testcase is appended. A documentation could be found in the
patch file.

A binary update (only containing ld) could be found here:

Cheers
Ralf
