The only problem is that the current version of binutils + bfd is in a
pretty uncertain state as far as PE for windows is concerned. I don't
think it is close to being stable yet.
We're using a known stable version of the tools that Mumit provided.
Maybe he'll want to incorporate your changes into his stuff or allow you
to provide a new version of binutils + gcc for latest.
