This patch modifies AVR target's ASM spec to pass -mlink-relax to the
assembler if -mrelax is passed to the compiler driver. This was already
being passed on to the linker, this patch merely makes the assembler
also aware of it.

The corresponding patch in binutils to handle the -mlink-relax patch is
already committed in the binutils repo. I'm not sure how to manage a
running a newer gcc with an older version of binutils though - how is this
generally handled?

If ok, could someone commit please? I don't have commit access.

The right place is gcc/configure.ac and have a macro defined depending 
on whether gas supports -mlink-relax.


Same should be done for -mrmw, IMO, for similar reasons, e.g. something like

case "$target" in
   ...
   avr-*-*)
   ...
     gcc_GAS_CHECK_FEATURE([-mrmw option], gcc_cv_as_avr_mrmw,,
       [-mrmw], [.text],,
       [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_AS_AVR_MRMW_OPTION, 1,
		[Define if your assembler supports -mrmw option.])])

or

     gcc_GAS_CHECK_FEATURE([-mrmw option], gcc_cv_as_avr_mrmw,,
                           [-mrmw], [.text],,,)
     if test x$gcc_cv_as_avr_mrmw = xyes; then
       AC_DEFINE(HAVE_AS_AVR_MRMW_OPTION, 1,
                 [Define if your assembler supports the -mrmw option.])


However, the gcc-4_9-branch has already been created...
