Um, in a word, "huh?" :-)  I think that's caused by something else. 
Looking at the message:
  if (!bfd_check_format (so->abfd, bfd_object))
    {
      error ("\"%s\": not in executable format: %s.",
             name, bfd_errmsg (bfd_get_error ()));
    }
which shouldn't be affected by this change.  sigh.
