[binutils-gdb] debug compile: Replace confusing debug message

    debug compile: Replace confusing debug message
    
    It was found that from
    
    (gdb) set debug compile 1
    (gdb) compile code 1
    [...]
    allocated 0x7f bytes at 0x7ffff7ff9000 prot 5
    allocated 0x38 bytes at 0x7ffff7ff8000 prot 1
    lookup undefined ELF symbol "_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_"
    allocated 0x10 bytes at 0x7ffff7ff7000 for registers
    (gdb) _
    
    the message 'lookup undefined ELF symbol' looks as an error to people,
    including to myself once.
    
    Change it to:
    
    allocated 0x7f bytes at 0x7ffff7ff9000 prot 5
    allocated 0x38 bytes at 0x7ffff7ff8000 prot 1
    ELF symbol "_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_" relocated to zero
    allocated 0x10 bytes at 0x7ffff7ff7000 for registers
    (gdb) _
