Comment:

 I have been trying something similar, but then I encountered another
 error:
 `unhandled PEi386 relocation type 3`. Looking at the code there is indeed
 no case for relocation type 3 which unless I'm mistaken is:

     IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32NB    0x0003  The 32-bit address without an
 image base (RVA).

 But curiously while trying to understand what the linker is doing (and I
 may have the wrong idea since I'm new to this part) I see under the
 `x86_64` cases this `case 17: /* R_X86_64_32S */`.

 However in the PE doc I can't find any relocation type `0x0011`. So am I
 looking at the wrong place or should this have been `0x0003`?
