Do we actually need to be storing these binary files in git
at all ?
IIUC, the test will do two things
- memcmp the expected binary we store, against the new binary
we generated.
- if they differ, then disassemble both and report the
differences in a user friendly-ish way
What if we only stored the sha256 checksum of the binary *and*
the dissasembled output in git, never the full binary.
IIUC, that would give us the same level of diagnostic output
from the test failures. The dissasembled output would then
give us meaningful patches for reviewers to look at. The
author wouldn't have to describe the difference in the
commit message as Stefan has (helpfully) done here.

Daniel
