Add -mrelax-relocations= to x86 assembler
The x86 relax relocations introduced in binutils 2.26 aren't supported by linker on Solaris older than Solaris 12. To use x86 assembler with older Solaris linker, this patch adds 1. A command line option -mrelax-relocations= to x86 assembler to control whether to generate relax relocations. 2. A configure option --enable-x86-relax-relocations to decide whether x86 assembler should generate relax relocations by default. It is defaulted to yes, except for x86 Solaris targets older than Solaris 12. gas/ PR gas/19520 * NEWS: Mention new command line option -mrelax-relocations and new configure option --enable-x86-relax-relocations for x86 target. * config.in: Regenerated. * configure.ac: Add --enable-x86-relax-relocations.
