This went too far: bfd/config.bfd confirms me observing both tests to fail on
i?86-interix, and it further suggests i?86-beospe* to also be affected. Or wait,
*-*-beos* is covered by the "target removed" switch higher up in the file, so
the individual entries later are all stale. I'll prune that, but for committing
this patch I'll also need to exclude *-*-interix* above.
