[LV] [PATCH] VAX/ELF: Do not allocate GOT space for local symbols

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Hello,

 Here is a fix to exclude local symbols from GOT space calculation.  
These GOT entries would never be used anyway, because the VAX supports 
unlimited PC-relative addressing for all kinds of memory references.

 Regression-tested successfully with the vax-linux target; running
dynamically-linked `bash' on the target system (about the best native
testing possible atm) revealed no problems either.

	* elf32-vax.c (elf_vax_instantiate_got_entries): Skip local 
	symbols in GOT space calculation.
	(elf_vax_relocate_section): Adjust accordingly.

 OK to apply?
