We recently ran into this. Unfortunately there's no binutils support for
ARM PE/COFF (at least the last time I looked).

It doesn't seem to be very hard to add; from what I found out, the only
real difference is a difference to the CPU type field. But binutils is
sufficiently painful to wrangle that I couldn't do it in a few hours, so
we went for other tools.

With binutils support adding ARM PE/COFF should be fairly easy,
depending on how much the ABI has changed from ARM EABI.
