Fix stripping relocs in a file with mergeable notes.
A recent Fedora bug (1520805) exposed a problem with objcopy's reloc copying code, when a binary also contains mergeable notes. The note merging code would delete some relocs, but then the reloc copying code would try to put them back again, which did not work. So I am checking in the patch below to fix the problem. The patch also tweaks one of the binutils note merging tests so that it is skipped for the Sparc64 target, since this has funky relocs. binutils * objcopy.c (copy_relocations_in_section): Use the orelocations field of the input section, if it has been initialised. * testsuite/binutils-all/note-2-64.d: Skip test on Sparc64. bfd * elfcode.h (elf_write_relocs): Check for an empty howto field.
