Thanks, Mark, that worked! I assumed that -O coff would "do the right
thing" by itself.  I did not realize that "format" and "target" were
independent.  I finally read somewhere that by default, windres picks
the target that is listed first when getting help via "-h".  In my
case that was pe-x86-64, which was wrong for what I wanted to do.
