[patch] Document --emit-relocs as ELF-only

For six months I've been anticipating that moving to binutils 2.11 with
its linker's --emit-relocs option will solve all my problems, but now
that I'm doing it I've realised it doesn't do anything on m68k-coff. :-)
I've got a patch that implements the option on COFF, and it might even
be more or less correct. But it's pretty ugly (more so than the ELF
version), and I haven't decided whether it's worth submitting or whether
this is the last straw that will finally push me over to m68k-elf.
Here's a documentation tweak that will stop the next non-ELF diehard
from getting too excited.
