<p><!-- CL 534555 -->
On Windows, when building with <code>-linkmode=internal</code>, the linker now
preserves SEH information from C object files by copying the <code>.pdata</code>
and <code>.xdata</code> sections into the final binary.
This helps with debugging and profiling binaries using native tools, such as WinDbg.
Note that until now, C functions' SEH exception handlers were not being honored,
so this change may cause some programs to behave differently.
<code>-linkmode=external</code> is not affected by this change, as external linkers
already preserve SEH information.
