Subject:	binutils feature request: ld --disable-large-address-aware option

A few programs are not compatible with --large-address-aware which is 
enabled by default in current x86 ld. For example cdrkit, dvd+rw-tools 
and smartmontools use IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT which apparently 
requires user buffers below 2GiB.

Using "LDFLAGS=-Wl,--disable-large-address-aware" would be much easier 
than adding an extra Cygwin specific "peflags --bigaddr=false *.exe" 
post-build step.

Thanks,
Christian
