The general rule of thumb on targets for which the main assembler is
supplied by the vendor is to add pseudo-ops used by the vendor's
assembler.  I suppose win32 is sort of a special case, since the MS
assembler is quite different from gas.

I doubt it, but if you write a patch yourself and send it in, somebody
would probably apply it.
