On some versions of binutils[0], including binutils-2.23.52.0.1-55.el7,
do not correctly initialize the data when computing the PE optional
header checksum. Unfortunately, this means that any time you get a
build that reproduces correctly using the version of objcopy from those
versions, it's just a matter of luck.
This patch introduces a new utility program, post-process-pe, which does
some basic validation of the resulting binaries, and if necessary,
performs some minor repairs:
- sets the timestamp to 0
- this was previously done with dd using constant offsets that aren't
really safe.
- re-computes the checksum.
[0] I suspect, but have not yet fully verified, that this is
accidentally fixed by the following upstream binutils commit:

Lose some COFF/PE static vars, and peicode.h constify
This patch tidies some COFF and PE code that unnecessarily used static
variables to communicate between functions.
v2 - MAP_PRIVATE was totally wrong...
