Adjust compare_link_order for unstable qsort
In a cross toolchain for nios2-elf target and x86_64-w64-mingw32 host using binutils 2.37, we observed a failure that didn't show up on x86_64-linux-gnu host: testcase pr25490-5.s was failing with C:\path\to\nios2-elf-ld.exe: looping in map_segments FAIL: __patchable_function_entries section 5 * ldelfgen.c (compare_link_order): Don't use section id in sorting. Keep original ordering instead. Update comments.
