It seems like Win8 changed maybe? Maybe it requires something else that's missing or some PE field that is not ignored anymore(if there was any that was ignored in previous versions of Windows).

I have just tested it and it appears that Windows 8 doesn't like .reloc section to not have "readable" attribute. So the correction should be to replace the last line with:

Code:

section '.reloc' fixups data readable discardable    

I will update the official example with this fix soon.
