[RFA:] Change assertion to ordinary code in aout_link_add_symbols

I got things wrong at first; I noticed that the warning
construct came out wrong from GAS, but didn't notice that the
SEGV was due to another bug (see previous patch to aoutx.h).  I
thought that somehow the warning symbol was at the end of the
object, but when I made a test-case to match, I noticed that was
wrong but that BFD didn't handle a split-up warning construct
*either* (it's one stabs directive immediately followed by a
symbol definition; see libgloss/libnosys/warning.h).  You get
this assertion for the test-case:
./ld-new: BFD 2.15.94 20050203 assertion fail /h/hp/binutils/cvs_latest/src/bfd/aoutx.h:3434

So here's a test-case or four and a patch to handle that as
well; the construct is invalid and perhaps GAS should warn or
error, but then again, keeping it silent, ignoring the partial
directive, works for me.  The def2 and def3 cases are just tests
that put together the partial warning construct with the
previous test-cases to see that it links as expected.

This patch is fairly independent of the other changes.
Ok for the aoutx.h patch below?

ld/testsuite:
	* ld-cris/globsymw1.s, ld-cris/glob1ref.s: New files.
	* ld-cris/warn1.d, ld-cris/warn2.d, ld-cris/def2.d,
	ld-cris/def3.d: New tests.
