As obvious, I presume? I won't comment further on the obviousness, but:
Unlike the ld testsuite, the readelf tests don't link files, so
the targets that assemble to ELF but link to another format are
needlessly left out, like mmix-knuth-mmixware. Right, not
changed by this patch, I just happened to spot it.
The is_elf_format proc also seems a bit misnamed; the _format
part makes me think a file is tested rather than a target. I
suggest two procs: is_elf_obj_target (applies only where a REL
file is tested) and is_elf_ld_target (where a DYN or EXEC file
is tested). Comments?
