While only a secondary issue there, the testcase of PR gas/27212 exposes
an oversight in relocation handling: Just like e.g. Arm32, which has a
similar comment and a similar check, relocations against STN_UNDEF have
to be permitted to satisfy the ELF spec.
/* An object file might have a reference to a local
undefined symbol. This is a daft object file, but we
- should at least do something about it. */
+ should at least do something about it. NONE and NULL
+ relocations do not use the symbol and are explicitly
+ allowed to use an undefined one, so allow those.
+ Likewise for relocations against STN_UNDEF. */
