It seems framework pieces for file-format tests like this can be
recycled from gcc/testsuite/lib/file-format.exp; bits from the
generic gas testsuite parts could be used for a generic assembly
file.

This would need to be different for linker tests; odd targets
could presumably assemble to ELF and link to another format.
