It is ready configured.

At first my question: For what do you need a raw coff image? All the binutils
and GDB 4.16 can handle now the exe files. This was also the reason, to
make the 'coff-go32-exe' target as the default target for ld. I (we) had
discussed about this problem in the past in this group and came to the
fact, that  producing the exe file should be the deafult, and every one,
who realy need a raw coff image can either use the exe2coff or must
do some work (thinking about the correct commandline switches) to
produce direct a coff image.
