Thanks for the idea! How does the attached patch look?

ChangeLog:

2019-07-25  Omair Majid  <omajid@redhat.com>

	* testsuite/binutils-all/objdump.exp
	(test_objdump_dotnet_assemblies): Fix test to distinguish errors
	in parsing simple pei-i386 and pei-x86-64 vs parsing the newly
	introduced machine types.
	* testsuite/gentestdlls.c (write_simple_dll): New function.
	(main): Generate simple and Linux-specific variants of pei-i386
	and pei-x86-64 files so both can be used by tests.
Thanks,
Omair
