PATCH: config/tc-mips.c (nopic_need_relax)

[H . J . Lu]

This patch seems to make the FSF assembler to generate the same better
code as the Linux assembler. A sample code is

	sw      $0,nlmsvc_ops
	j       $31

assembled with "-G 0 -mips2 -O2 -mtune=r5000 -v -non_shared --trap". I
don't know if we should add "g_switch_value > 0" to other checkings of
USE_GLOBAL_POINTER_OPT.

I will test if my kernel is stable next week.

	* config/tc-mips.c (nopic_need_relax): Check
	USE_GLOBAL_POINTER_OPT only if g_switch_value > 0.
