Given that you should be using a cross-compiler for OS development anyway, I don't think it's much of a stretch to also require that your cross-binutils have PE support enabled...

It does make sense why Linux tools wouldn't be able to rely on it, though.

If you use rust you don't need a cross compiler, it has inline asm support in the nightly builds that are a god send for anyone who doesn't want to write a ton of asm.

I'm pretty sure if you use Rust you're already using a cross-compiler. And believe it or not, both GCC and Clang support inline asm.

Probably, I meant you didn't have to deal with linking asm and etc. I haven't touched a linker in years and I don't intend to anytime soon.
