Yes, the retest without that patch suggests so, and I think I know why; it
was because of the differing times at which we set the SEC_EXCLUDE flag and
clear the output_sections, and the combination of Alan's earlier setting and
fixing the bug in the COFF backend has obviated the need for this patch.
So, patch withdrawn.
