Proof-of-concept patch

Being such a critical third-party module we should have testing options for this port so we can catch regressions or evaluate better before enabling features.

I borrowed the test option from the GCC port. I am not sure this adapts perfectly to binutils as the tests don't finish but it's a start.

The approach is wrong, all what is needed is a simple:
TEST_TARGET=check

Also note that to depend on dejagnu, TEST_DEPENDS=... should be enough.

Btw the testsuite works here to the exception of some weird -Wa,-madd-bnd-prefix which clang does not accept

The port does have test target now, although it fails for me with

gcctestdir/ld: internal error in shndx, at ./symtab.h:170
c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Anyways, can this be closed?

Done ...
