turn on -relax by default for ia64
- To: binutils at sources dot redhat dot com
- Subject: turn on -relax by default for ia64
- From: Richard Henderson <rth at redhat dot com>

The ia64 abi specifies that the linker is supposed to add long branch
instructions as necessary for pc-relative calls that cannot reach their
destinations. This was implemented some time ago, but since it uses
the relaxation hooks, one had to add -relax to the link line to get it
to work.
It's tiring to continue answering the same user questions in response
to the linker error one gets from the out-of-range branch, and somewhat
silly that this isn't fixed up by default.
Addressed thus.
