The BFD library does have support for the ARC architecture, and it
ought to be able to recognise your binaries as ARC binaries.  If it
does not then there may be a discrepancy between how the BFD code
labels the binaries that it produces and the binaries that the Precise
toolset produces.

The first thing to check is the EM_xxx value in the e_machine field of
the ELF header.  BFD is expecting the value 45 (decimal).  See the
function arc_elf_object_p() in bfd/elf32-arc.c for more information.

Cheers
        Nick
