I think your code misses to set IMAGE_FILE_32BIT_MACHINE in dependence
of the bitness of the system.

I would prefer if these constants were defined in asm-generic/pe.h:

#define IMAGE_FILE_RELOCS_STRIPPED		0x0001
#define IMAGE_FILE_EXECUTABLE_IMAGE		0x0002
#define IMAGE_FILE_LINE_NUMS_STRIPPED		0x0004
#define IMAGE_FILE_LOCAL_SYMS_STRIPPED		0x0008
#define IMAGE_FILE_AGGRESSIVE_WS_TRIM 		0x0010
#define IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE		0x0020
/* Reserved					0x0040 */
#define IMAGE_FILE_BYTES_REVERSED_LO		0x0080
#define IMAGE_FILE_32BIT_MACHINE		0x0100
#define IMAGE_FILE_DEBUG_STRIPPED		0x0200
#define IMAGE_FILE_REMOVABLE_RUN_FROM_SWAP	0x0400
#define IMAGE_FILE_NET_RUN_FROM_SWAP		0x0800
#define IMAGE_FILE_SYSTEM			0x1000
#define IMAGE_FILE_DLL				0x2000
#define IMAGE_FILE_UP_SYSTEM_ONLY		0x4000
#define IMAGE_FILE_BYTES_REVERSED_HI		0x8000
