[PATCH] Speedup ELF orphan placement for relocatable link

[H.J. Lu]

Since there is no need to place output sections in specific order for
relocatable link, we can skip merging flags of other input sections.

	PR ld/19739
	* ld/emultempl/elf32.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_place_orphan): Don't
	merge flags of other input sections for relocatable link.
