Comment (by thomie):

 > Does validate allow for testing other binaries than GHC?
 You can try adding a `run_command` test. See Building/RunningTests/Adding.

 You'll need to tell the testsuite where to find the splitter. See
 find_tool and  canonicaliseExecutable in `testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk`.

 Alternatively, use a `compile` test that sets `-split-objs`.
