... from ELF to a.out-cris because of this:

...
	* aoutx.h (NAME(aout,final_link)): Report a reasonable error when
	trying to do a relocateable link with a non-a.out object file.

I'll make a patch along the lines of checking HAS_RELOC as Ian
suggested.

Maybe there's reason to revert the above (if it is indeed safe
in absence of HAS_RELOC), but I don't really need that
functionality myself.
