[PATCH 0/2] MIPS/LD: Improve error checking for relocations in shared libraries

[Faraz Shahbazker <fshahbazker at wavecomp dot com>]

This patch series improves error checking for unacceptable non-PIC
relocations when linking shared libraries.

Patch 1/2 fixes problems with existing checks.  There are 2 possible
sites of memory faults:
1. Applying bfd_is_abs_symbol predicate on a symbol link hash entry
that is NULL, as is the case for statically scoped variables.
2. Trying to dereference a relocation howto pointer for an unsupported
relocation when printing the error message.
Further, the search for relocations should be performed on RELA table
for n64 (%higher and %highest) relocations because these are declared
empty in the REL table for the n64 MIPS backend.  The new tests cover
all of the above issues.

Patch 2/2 extends the checks to tprel_hi and tprel_lo relocations.
These relocations represent the Local Exec TLS mode that may be valid
for PIEs but not for shared libraries, regardless of STATIC_TLS.
Notably, GCC will generate such relocations for statically scoped
TLS variables in n64 mode without an explicit -fpic option and linking
them without error creates a shared library which will fail at run-time.
