Can I get them without forcing the configuration script to think that it is executed in a Windows environment? Would you like to recommend any options to activate these tools for a Linux environment?
If you intend to create/modify PE binaries then you have to build a
cross-binutils by specifying --target=whatever, there is no way around
that. There is no point in building the PE-only tools when configured
for an ELF target because that is nonsensical, they would not work
anyway.
