It's set in bfd/config.bfd when defining the targets

  arm-wince-pe | arm-*-wince | arm*-*-mingw32ce* | arm*-*-cegcc*)
    targ_defvec=arm_pe_wince_le_vec
    targ_selvecs="arm_pe_wince_le_vec arm_pe_wince_be_vec arm_pei_wince_le_vec
arm_pei_wince_be_vec"
    targ_underscore=no
    targ_cflags="-DARM_WINCE -DARM_COFF_BUGFIX"
    ;;

It must be working since otherwise any WINCE devices (which afaik are still
used in some old windows embedded devices) would have the loader reject the
binaries as unknown.
