I am trying to build windres for solaris x86 to use with launch4j.
Launch4j uses windres with the following options:

-J rc -O coff -F pe-i386

I am currently building the binutils as follows:
# mkdir objdir
# cd objdir
# ../configure
I notice 'windres' is not built so I go into the binutils dir and run
# make windres

#./windres --help
(cropped)
/usr/local/bin/windres: supported targets: elf32-i386 coff-i386
elf64-x86-64 elf64-little elf64-big elf32-little elf32-big srec
symbolsrec tekhex binary ihex

I can see that the 'pe-i386' is not listed in the supported types.

My question is, How do I get pe-i386 to be available in the supported types?

I have tried passing in the --enable-targets with:
i386-pc-solaris2.10, pe-i386, but bfd complains about the pe-i386 not
being supported.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Compiler being used:
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6

Thanks in Advance,
-James
