binutils dw5 test

This patch addresses a test failure in binutils for the xtensa-lx106-elf target when running readelf -wiaoRlL dw5. The failure is due to unexpected padding in uleb128 encoding within the debug information. The fix modifies the testsuite to accommodate this padding, ensuring the test passes.
