[PATCH] Fix static linking for SH uClibc targets


This patch fixes a link error encountered when building static
executables that don't require stdio with a sh2-uclinux toolchain:

foo.c:
int
main (void)
{
  return 0;
}

> sh-uclinux-gcc -static foo.c
> /scratch/jseymour/sh-uclinux-lite/install/bin/../sh-uclinux/libc/usr/lib/libc.a(__uClibc_main.os): In function `*__GI___uClibc_init':
> /scratch/jseymour/sh-uclinux-lite/obj/uclibc-2011.03-999999-sh-uclinux-i686-pc-linux-gnu/default/libc/misc/internals/__uClibc_main.c:238: warning: relocation to "_stdio_init" references a different segment

The relocation was a R_SH_REL32 generated for a non-NULL test of
_stdio_init:
>    /*
>     * Initialize stdio here.  In the static library case, this will
>     * be bypassed if not needed because of the weak alias above.
>     * Thus we get a nice size savings because the stdio functions
>     * won't be pulled into the final static binary unless used.
>     */
>     if (likely(_stdio_init != NULL))
>         _stdio_init();

Elsewhere in elf32-sh.c warnings are suppressed for calls to undefined
weak functions, so it seems reasonable to do the same for their
corresponding non-NULL checks.

With this patch I'm able to build and run static executables.

The ld binutils and gas testsuites shows no regressions, although
results for this target weren't clean to start with.

Note I wasn't able to build trunk uClibc with trunk binutils without
working around another SH issue. Time permitting I'll try and send a
patch for that too, but there's a good chance time wont be permitting :(

If this patch is OK could someone please commit it for me, I don't have
write access.

Thanks,
