entrySize is uint64_t, but you're storing through a uint32_t pointer?

Seems like elsewhere in the COFF code I've been reviewing lately we have similar noisy expressions where we desire a vector of bytes and have to jam in binary data.  Can we get a generic binary blob builder that prevents us from having to write these same kinds of expressions across the different COFF code?  Maybe even such a thing is useful to more than just COFF output files?

Come to think of it, I'm not even sure this code will generate a proper COFF executable on a machine that doesn't have the same byte order as an x86 machine.  Won't this break our ability to cross-compile?
