I don't really like this :-(  Different people's builds of binutils
will trigger different bugs for the same target.  I suppose it's
reasonable, but please remove this:

+  # XXX FIXME: Add code to test the loader here.

Having binutils built on a new system by default produce binaries that
would not work on older systems would be a real pain to figure out.
