Strip copies the whole .reloc section, including entries for removed debug sections. This is documented in rebase/README. Rebase checks for this condition in Relocations::relocate and silently ignores wrong entries. Well, except in Marco's dict_snowball.dll.


Btw,
The size of the .reloc section in the file header does not indicate how
long the relocation information in the section actually is.  Usually the
section is larger than the actual relocation info.  The end of the
relocation info is indicated by a block header with a base offset of 0
and a sizeof of 0, let's call it the NULL block.

VirtualSize (offset 8 in section header) should be exact. There are no terminator zero block, but can be zero section padding. VirtualSize + padding = SizeOfRawData.
