Aster!x: It's not masm message but LINK's one. And LINK belongs to microsoft and was just included with masm (but not only with it). It is also just a linker. So you can assemble your projects ot MS COFF and link with it to have such warnings.

But this is not an error, since this doesn't violate the PE specification

Unfortunataly the MS PE Specification isn't so detailed as wanted
But if you reread the specification (Feb 1999) you'll see the following description of IMAGE_FILE_RELOCS_STRIPPED flag: "Image only, Windows CE, Windows NT and above". So this flag isn't supported by Win 9x and we cannot interpret it as a bug
In contrast, the specification allows to use empty data sections: "However, for sections containing all zeros, the section data need not be included". So XP violates the PE specification if it dissalows empty sections Crying or Very sad
