Three things:
- The contents of mojo/public/bindings/tests have moved.
- This isn't actually a test of the bindings itself, so it probably doesn't
belong there.
- Probably, as the base/ includes suggest, it doesn't need to live under
mojo/public at all. I'd suggest mojo/tools/.

On second thought, maybe it should be under public/ somewhere. I'd have to think
about where.

Also, I suggest just using StringAppendF.

(As a side commentary, it'd probably be helpful to have it prepend some
explanatory header, e.g., "# This file is generated by ....")

+    result.append(base::HexEncode(piece.data() + i, 1));
+    result.push_back('\n');
+  }
+  return result;

I think this should be factored into several pieces:
- a WriteMessageToFile() (that takes a Message and a file[*]); probably this
function should go into a library
- something that actually generates the Message and filename (possibly you could
do this directly in main())
The reason is that I think that we should have many more "golden" messages, not
just the single one you have below.

[*] Probably you should avoid the base/ dependency and just use stdio.h. Maybe
it should take a FILE*.

+  internal::MessageBuilder builder(static_cast<uint32_t>(21),
+                                   static_cast<size_t>(4));
+  char* data = static_cast<char*>(builder.buffer()->Allocate(4));
+  DCHECK(data);
+  data[0] = 9;
+  data[1] = 8;
+  data[2] = 7;
+  data[3] = 6;
+
+  Message message;
+  builder.Finish(&message);
+  std::string string_message;
+  const std::string hex_message(BinaryToHex(
+      base::StringPiece(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(message.data()),
+                        message.data_num_bytes())));
+  CHECK_EQ(static_cast<int>(hex_message.size()),
+           base::WriteFile(path, hex_message.data(), hex_message.size()));
+}
+
+}  // namespace
+}  // namespace mojo
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv) {
+  mojo::GenerateMessageDataMessage(
+      base::FilePath(FILE_PATH_LITERAL("message_data.txt")));
+  return 0;
