Hi Erik,

:     objdump: /mnt/win32/proj/program.exe: File format not recognized

I do not know if this will help, but with latest binutils sources,
available from the binutils CVS server on:

  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/?cvsroot=src

I get the following:

     % objdump -V
     GNU objdump 2.10.91
  [snip]

    % objdump -d SMSS.EXE
    objdump: /home/nickc/tmp/SMSS.EXE: File format is ambiguous
    objdump: Matching formats: efi-app-ia32 pei-i386

    % objdump -d --target=pei-i386 SMSS.EXE
        /home/nickc/tmp/SMSS.EXE:     file format pei-i386

    Disassembly of section .text:

    02691000 <.text>:
     2691000:       55                      push   %ebp
