I recently ran into this issue with a project that I work on and it would be nice for NSIS to be able to handle having .reloc sections in the stubs in creates. Alternatively NSIS needs to default compile without .reloc sections. Since binutils 2.36, ld will include a .reloc section by default when linking. Compiling NSIS with said binutils version required modifying SConstruct in order to pass -Wl,--disable-reloc-section to the stubs environment. It appears that APPEND_LINKFLAGS is not being passed...
