If running inside cygwin, you let the cygwin developers make the choice, 
which the binutils as will select automatically (PE-i386?).  nasm might 
be used, I suppose, with mingw, as your comment almost implies, so 
becomes off topic for this list, if you refer to development for 
non-cygwin targets.
