If the binutils testsuite is run on an installed toolchain the tests involving

the bfdtest1 and bfdtest2 executables will fail because they are not installed.
 Since the programs only exist to be used by the testsuite it does not make sense
to install them, so instead I have chosen to create a patch which skips the tests
when they are not present.

	* binutils-all/ar.exp: Skip tests involving bfdtest1 and bfdtest2
	if these executables are not present.
