Maybe you can add that you can use the file format pe in the unified api like coff.

The unified api is for writing relocatable object files, not executables and dynamic libraries. AFAIK PE only exists for executables and dynamic libraries. PE is COFF + a stub executable by MSDOS, which relocatable object files don't need as they will never be executed.
