This tool removes the .reloc section that is absolutely useless in EXEs (useful only in DLLs).

If ASLR is enabled either directly by Windows or by a third party tool you can get into trouble.

It seems I'd need to link against ASLR for it to be an issue.

IMHO, ASLR is a part of a loader, which is a part of Windows (this is not the case in Unix). You do not link against ASLR. Loader just loads your app at random address. You need to do something to your app to tell loader that you want to load it at random address (most likely this is a flag), but there are third party tools, and nobody knows what will happen after another Windows update.
