It will be irrelevant, as the linker will read whatever it puts out, and the 
linker will read COFF.

There is no reason why a linker cannot transparently read many object and 
library file formats. I even want the linker to be able to read a DLL and figure 
out how to interface it without needing to build a corresponding import library.

There's quite a bit that can be done that was impractical for linkers of yore 
because of severe memory constraints.
