 Fair enough.  I've had a look at the original commit and I can see it is 
a smoke test really, so I think either approach will do.  So if you want 
to keep the test tight at the cost of changing its source, which I can see 
that has already been diverged from by gas/testsuite/gas/pe/pe-aarch64.s 
which used to be the same, then I agree it makes sense to do.
