Yeah, for pe-coff targets we have at the moment just LP32 and LLP64.
But maybe we get in some time support for interix-64, where it would
be LP64 IIRC.

Well, all testcases having there dumpfiles for 32-bits. The default
imagebase for 64-bit pe-coff is different, therefore this takes care,
that offsets are equal for check.
