Thanks for the fix. The reason for the failure is that objdump only uses 
symbols to determine if code is ARM or Thumb whereas it first look at mapping 
symbols ($t and $a) for ELF. The testcase does not have any label so the only 
symbols are .text, .dada and .bss which is why the test fails on non ELF 
target. Fixing that, there's also the fact that objdump prints one nop passed 
the last instruction if the alignment is not right. I'm guessing it's due to 
how the size is expressed in other formats but I'll go check that.

I'll propose a patch shortly and reenable all these tests.

Best regards,

Thomas
