A COFF patch

Hi, Nick,

I don't know what you did to COFF. It seems that your change breaks
"configure --enable-targets=all". This patch seems to fix it. It may
not cover everything nor the best fix. But it is good enough for me
to pass "make check" when I use "configure --enable-targets=all" on
Linux/x86.

Thanks.
