.rdata section in Cygwin executables?

The emacs recompile fails because there is a section in
the initially built emacs.exe named ".rdata" that the
unexec() code for Cygwin is not expecting. The section
appears to have something to do with exception handling
and is only 1k in size.
I'm reading up on this at the moment, but a couple
questions occur to me that someone here might be able
to answer off the top of their head:
- can .rdata just be combined with the preceeding .data
section?
- perhaps there is a way to do this with the linker so
I don't have to change the emacs unexec() code?
