When I worked on this a few years ago I tried that way. Sadly I failed because I was not able to produce "linear" PE image using binutils exiting that days. Though I think you should try once again. Maybe newer binutils are more flexible and will be able to produce a PE image with properties required by Multiboot2 protocol. Daniel
