AFAICS coff_write_object_contents () writes the last of the PE image.
I have built an Windows NT device driver using ld with the this patch 
applied. Objdump -p shows the checksum value of the PE image and I have used 
an utility (found somewhere on the Internet) that tests wether the PE 
checksum is correct to verify the checksum. Windows NT loads the device 
driver when the PE image checksum is there, but not when it is zero.

So the patch should be within #ifdef COFF_IMAGE_WITH_PE?
