Err, uh, I don't understand, why is this change necessary?

(I don't really care, I just want to understand.)

Assuming ELF, the assemble w/ -march=vr4120 causes the 4120 'machine
type' bits to be set in the ELF header (for better or for worse).

That in turn seems to cause obdump to dump the correct disassembly,
even without the specific flag.

(This test could be seen as testing two things: disassembly, and ELF
machine type handling.  You effectively removed the test for the
latter.)


(FWIW, it passes just fine on mips-linux w/o the additional flag to
objdump.  Also, you changed more than that according to your patch...
8-)
