The testsuite failed on me. I blame the instructions. ;-)
I could not find porting docs in the binutils subdir, but bfdint.texi was
a good source. While admittedly slightly misplaced, without
restructuring the docs it seems the best place to add this information,
Did I get everything right? Anybody has some better wording in mind?
Ok to install?

+ While not a BFD component, you probably also want to make the binutils
+ program @samp{readelf} parse your ELF objects. For this, you need to add
+ a dependency for @file{readelf.o} on @file{include/elf/@var{cpu}.h} in
+ @file{binutils/Makefile.am}, and code for @code{EM_@var{cpu}} as
+ appropriate in @file{binutils/readelf.c}.
