1. Find all ELF executable/library files.
2. Either:
a. Work out which instructions should be excluded, depending on the
directory.
b. Skip files in hwcap directories and exclude all instructions
missing from the minimum processor.
3. 'objdump -d | grep' with appropriate instruction regexp; fail if
there's a match.
