Bad ELF reloc generation fixed

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

  I have checked in the patch below to fix a problem with some of the
  MIPS toolchains whereby they could generate bad reloc information
  when performing an incremental link.

  In fact what was happening was that these toolchains were generating
  both .rel and .rela sections, but only the contents of the .rel
  section are actually initialised.  Fortuitously under Linux, the
  other section's contents were set to zero, but under Solaris this
  does not happen.  All that the patch does is to make this zero
  initialisation explicit.

Cheers
	Nick
