I have modified only coff-stgo32.c ("coff-go32-exe") which seems to always
offset everything of COFF by GO32_STUBSIZE.
There is also coff-go32.c ("coff-go32") but I haven't touched that one.
My former patch for coff-go32-exe does MZ check && coff magic check.
The FSF binutils HEAD code does coff magic check.
Your proposed IIUC MZ check || coff magic check
is not useful because the coff magic check itself has the false positives.
Still I do not know whether there isn't in use some alternative env(GO32STUB)
for a .com file - where for .com there would be no 'MZ' signature.
Alternatively proposing the patch below.
No regressions x86_64-fedora16pre-linux-gnu --target=i386-unknown-go32.

Fix false coff-go32-exe matches.
* coff-i386.c (TARGET_SYM) <match_priority>: Use TARGET_MATCH_PRIORITY
if available.
* coff-stgo32.c (TARGET_MATCH_PRIORITY): New defintion.
