Subject: ld option to leave .reloc section on .exe?

Is there any way to convince the Cygwin toolchain to leave the relocation
information (normally in a .reloc section) in a .exe file?  By default it
strips it off, and if you pass -r (--relocateable) then what you actually
get is a COFF object file (i.e. an .obj) but with a .exe extension, which
is quite a different kind of animal.

Many thanks!
