*sigh* Yes this is a "feature" of the linker. It might be possible to hack
the linker to change the behaviour, but I think that there is a simpler
solution:
> $ i686-w64-mingw32-windres --input-format=rc --output-format=coff
> --input=test-rsrc.rc --output=test-rsrc.o
>
> $ i686-w64-mingw32-ld -dll --subsystem windows -e 0 -s test-rsrc.o -o
> test-rsrc.dll
>
> $ i686-w64-mingw32-objdump -h test-rsrc.dll

> test-rsrc.dll: file format pei-i386

But if you add....
$ i686-w64-mingw32-objcopy --remove-section .text --remove-section .idata
test-rsrc.dll test-rsrc-2.dll
then...
$ i686-w64-mingw32-objdump -h test-rsrc-2.dll
test-rsrc-2.dll: file format pei-i386
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .rsrc 000000b8 10003000 10003000 00000200 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
I realise that this means adding another step to the process, but it also
means that the workaround will work with the current tools, no need for any
updates.
