[PATCH, GNU ld] Fix broken -Bsymbolic-functions for hppa, m68k, nios2 and tic6x

["Thomas Preud'homme" <thomas dot preudhomme at arm dot com>]

GNU ld generates absolute relocation for non function call references to functions
(eg. initialization of function pointer) despite the presence of -Bsymbolic-functions.
This issue has already been dealt with in Aarch64 some time ago but although a
check for similar issues in other targets was done, it was done incorrectly (probably
by looking for the whole condition on a single line instead of just grepping for
!.*->dynamic).

Target that appears to be affected:

    arm
    hppa
    m68k
    nios2
    tic6x

This patch fixes the issue for non ARM targets. Target maintainers for these targets are encouraged to add testcases for this issue.


ChangeLog entry is as follow:

No regression was observed when running testsuite for the following targets:

* hppa-linux-gnu
* m68k-linux
* nios2-linux
* tic6x-none-elf


Is this patch ok for master as well as for 2.24 and 2.25 stable branch?

Best regards,
