Thanks for mentioning it.

To make sure we don't miss anything, I made sure to run that using 
windows binaries.
So, except if I missed something on how to use those tools, this 
excludes support for abidiff and pahole which are ELF centric.
Thus the idea to simply to dump full dwarf info included in COFF and 
compare the result.
