The Microsoft PE/COFF specification defines the MajorLinkerVersion and
MinorLinkerVersion fields as "The linker major version number" and
"The linker minor version number" respectively, and has nothing more
to say on the matter. These fields have no significance: they do not
affect the interpretation of the remainder of the file, but merely
provide diagnostic information for interested humans to read.
Apparently, versions 2.4 and earlier of the Microsoft linker produced
binaries so incorrigibly cursed that even to attempt to parse such a
binary would risk summoning a plague of enraged spiders. To protect
users from unwanted arachnids, ImageHlp.dll's MapAndLoad() function
will helpfully fail to map and/or load a 32-bit binary unless the
linker version field indicates version 2.5 or later. (64-bit binaries
are exempt from such helpfulness.)
Work around the broken Microsoft ImageHlp.dll library by providing a
linker version number that will satisfy the arbitrary whims of the
MapAndLoad() function.
This mirrors wimboot commit 670c7e2 ("[efi] Work around broken 32-bit
PE executable parsing in ImageHlp.dll").
