I don't think it'd be that bad.  ELF is the standard in binary format nowadays,
with only Microsoft going their own, awkward way (as usual).

Alternatively, why don't you convert PE to ELF somewhere in util/ or so?  See
how the EFI port handles the reverse conversion (the ia64 patch adds more of
this).
