Thanks, just checked with this update:
GNU objdump (GNU Binutils) 2.25.51.20151004
GNU objcopy (GNU Binutils) 2.25.51.20151004
do create and handle pei files:
/home/tsoome/loader.efi: file format pei-x86-64
/home/tsoome/loader.efi
architecture: i386:x86-64, flags 0x00000133:
HAS_RELOC, EXEC_P, HAS_SYMS, HAS_LOCALS, D_PAGED
start address 0x000000000000cd80
Characteristics 0x206
executable
line numbers stripped
debugging information removed
Time/Date Thu Jan 1 03:00:00 1970
Magic 020b (PE32+)
MajorLinkerVersion 2
MinorLinkerVersion 25
there is one minor issue tho (not related to this update, it is there in 2.25.1 at least), this pei-x86-64 file is created with objcopy from elf file and as you see the Time/Date is not set. Not a big issue, but at least
GNU objcopy 2.17.50 [FreeBSD] 2007-07-03
seems to set time/date properly - it may be freebsd own patch of course.
rgds,
toomas
