build binutils - BFD target names


Hello,

I'm working on a project that requires the use of some
not-supported-by-default-on-cygwin target formats (e.g. aout). So I
tried building binutils-2.15.97 with only the formats I need. Tried to
configure it with:
>configure --enable-targets=aout --enable-shared --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as

Also tried:
--enable-targets=aout32
--enable-targets=elf32
--enable-targets=i386-aout32
--enable-targets=i386-elf32
--enable-targets=pe-i386
--enable-targets=i386-pe

Each and every build fails at [configure-bfd] complaining about the target
name being invalid - except with i386-aout32, where somewhere during the ld
build it says i386-pc-aout32 is invalid =/

I tried looking in bfd/config.bfd for the target names (as the error
advised), but I couldn't extract anything meaningful from there.

So,
- What are the target names, or where do I find a listing?
- Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks
