Doh!  My bad.  I was fixing the eh-group.exp tests for an old version of 
the binutils sources when I encountered the problem of the tests being 
run for a cygwin toolchain.  I added the obvious check for the ELF file 
format there and checked it in.  Then I thought, "better make sure that 
the same problem is not present in the mainline code", but rather than 
running the linker testsuite again I just visually looked at the 
eh-group.exp file.  And completely missed the is_elf_format check that 
was already there.  :-(

So I will revert my patch, and apologise for the noise.

Cheers
   Nick
