Comment (by lukexi):

 Awesome stuff Tamar!!

 I confirmed your branch works on my test case and also backported the
 patches to 7.10.2 at https://github.com/lukexi/ghc/tree/ghc-7.10.2
 -release-plus-rework-windows-pe-linker (git did 99% of the work, they
 mostly applied cleanly) and was able to build all of `bullet-mini`
 flawlessly, hurray! Thanks so much for your hard work.
