  • Replaces a potentially fragile target-specific test condition with a more general format check.
  • Ensures tests relevant to ELF are only run on ELF targets, improving test reliability.

aarch64-pe fails of tls-debug tests

Alan Modra proposes changes to the gas testsuite to fix failing TLS debug tests for the aarch64-pe target. The tests currently use ELF section directives which are not specific to aarch64, leading to failures. The fix replaces the target-specific check with a generic is_elf_format check.
