Subject:	B19: Peclean.exe still needed when building dll's under Win95

The b19 ld under Win95 still produces garbage at the end of sections when you build a dll.
This makes the Win32 LoadLibrary fail (in Matlab in my case).
If I remember correctly from the b18 discussions this is caused by a flaw in the Win95
implementation of seek, which does *not* automatically zero fill extended sections.
(It does work under NT).

So you still need peclean or similar to build dll's in b19 when using Win95.

Any chance of fixing this in ld ?

P.S. I can confirm that the invalid termination of import data is fixed in b19
      (The extra zeros at the end of .idata3 are now put in by ld).
