There are basically no efficiency gains, there is no overhead in running a PE exe compared to a native one.
Okay, but presumably it's easier (as in not impossible!) for me to debug a program with GDB if I'm using a elf binary as opposed to a PE binary, which is mostly my object here.
But if you compile Winelib dlls as regular ELF libraries the application won't run so there is not much point. Besides, if you are using threads you cannot use gdb either because the Win32 threading is incompatible with gdb.
So you are stuck with winebuild and winedbg.
