Add -mno-shared to x86 assembler
On ELF target, the assembler normally generates code which can go into a shared library where non-weak symbols can be preempted. The -mno-shared option tells the assembler to generate code not for a shared library, where non-weak symbols won't be preempted. The resulting code is slightly smaller. This option mainly affects the handling of branch instructions. gas/ * config/tc-i386.c (no_shared): New. (OPTION_MNO_SHARED): Likewise. (elf_symbol_resolved_in_segment_p): Check no_shared. (md_longopts): Add mno-shared. (md_parse_option): Handle OPTION_MNO_SHARED. (md_show_usage): Add -mno-shared. * doc/c-i386.texi: Document -mno-shared. gas/testsuite/ * gas/i386/i386.exp: Run relax-4 and x86-64-relax-3. * gas/i386/relax-4.d: New file. * gas/i386/x86-64-relax-3.d: Likewise.

This option forces the assembler to add BND prefix to all branches, even
if such prefix was not explicitly specified in the source code.
