You need a cross compiled as and ld with target that supports win32. You
are now trying to use win32(=pecoff) .o files with the linux linker that
only supports ELF .o files.

Note: The compile itself can read .ppu files from multiple platforms, but
the assembler and linker not. The assembler and linker are external
applications from GNU binutils.
