x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug
GNU ld 2.22.52.0.1 has a bug that it blindly changes symbols from section-relative to absolute if they are in a section of zero length. This turns the symbols __init_begin and __init_end into absolute symbols. Let the relocs program know that those should be treated as relative symbols. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com>
