Oracle library fix

[Alan Modra]

Does anyone know whether the following 1995 code is still needed?
My guess is that the "incomprehensible reason" mentioned in the
comment is that some object had relocation sections created by hand.
With my recent commit b6d1f70cc7e any such relocation section should
have a proper sh_link field, but of course if people are still using
constructs like

 .section .rel.text,""
 .4byte reloc_offset
 .4byte reloc_number + sym_index

then I'll need to delay this cleanup for some years.

	* elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr): Remove old hack for Oracle
	libraries.
