Right, and you skipped the elfxx-*.c targets that matched this test as well,
right.  I think that the test should be any elf*.c file that does not define
elf_backend_relocate section or reference bfd_elf_final_link and which *does*
include elfNN-target.h - ie one which creates an elf_backend_data structure.

So I think that you can skip vxworks entirely here, since elf-vxworks.c is
just a support file for vxworks targets, and not a cpu type by itself.  
(Similarly for am33lin which just #include's elf-m10300.c which then does
define elf_backend_relocate_section.

Nope.

Look in bfd/configure.ac.  Starting at around line 382 there is a list
of targets and the target specific files that they need.  A little bit
of searching can tell you which files are used by which targets.
