That is an annoying special case. Normally when there is an -elf or -macho
at the end we mean a plain elf or macho. For example, producing an ELF that
an ELF loader can use on windows.

Hopefully the case you have is the only use of *-windows-macho, so the
patch is probably OK, but please add a comment explaining it.

Cheers,
Rafael
