That looks right to me ("-triple test-elf" might be more robust and
work if you're coding on OS X or Windows).

Either llvm-objdump or llvm-readobj will work. llvm-readobj tends to
produce lower level information, while llvm-objdump is more
user-friendly. They ought to mostly work on the generic information
without changes.

If you want "-d" (disassemble) to work, you're going to have to
implement a Disassembler in your target too.
