[PATCH RFC] gas: don't process relocs for content-less sections

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich at suse dot com>]

In line with write_contents(), make write_relocs() bail early on
sections without contents. Otherwise (at least without the other pair
of patches just sent) .bss style sections may get relocations emitted
for them, even though such sections aren't supposed to have any
relocations attached.

However, this causes the gas/all/none test to fail. Thoughts/advice?

	* write.c (write_relocs): Bail early when SEC_HAS_CONTENTS is
	not set.
