Are you sure that is true of non-i386 COFF/PE files?

Note that there is no standard MIPS COFF.  MIPS ECOFF files look like
COFF files at the start, so when BFD sees a MIPS COFF file, it tries
to interpret it as ECOFF.  The symbol table and relocation entries are
different in COFF and ECOFF.

Look at mips-tdump in the gcc distribution.  It doesn't print all
information, but it does print the ECOFF symbol table and
mdebug-format debugging information.
