[GOLD PATCH]: Elide non-pic tests on sparc64.


I initially believed that I could make non-pic shared libraries work
on sparc64, but it simply isn't possible to do so generally.

Handling WDISP30 relocs could be done by forcing them through the PLT
when linking a shared library.

But even with that, for some code models the data address formation
can't be fixed up to full 64-bit locations.  For example, for the
med-low code model which is the default under
sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu only a 32-bit address formation sequence is
emitted when non-PIC.

So simply add sparc64 to FN_PTRS_IN_SO_WITHOUT_PIC.

Now all enabled gold testcases pass for both 32-bit and 64-bit sparc
at least under Linux :-)

Ok to commit?
