As the commit message of r14-4674 has indicated, if the assembler does
not support conditional branch relaxation, a relocation overflow may
happen on conditional branches when relaxation is enabled because the
number of NOP instructions inserted by the assembler will be more than
the number estimated by GCC.

To work around this issue, disable relaxation by default if the
assembler is detected incapable to perform conditional branch relaxation
at GCC build time.  We also need to pass -mno-relax to the assembler to
really disable relaxation.  But, if the assembler does not support
-mrelax option at all, we should not pass -mno-relax to the assembler or
it will immediately error out.  Also handle this with the build time
assembler capability probing, and add a pair of options
-m[no-]pass-mrelax-to-as to allow using a different assembler from the
build-time one.

With this change, if GCC is built with GAS 2.41, relaxation will be
disabled by default.  So the default value of -mexplicit-relocs= is also
changed to 'always' if -mno-relax is specified or implied by the
build-time default, because using assembler macros for symbol addresses
produces no benefit when relaxation is disabled.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	PR target/112330
	* config/loongarch/genopts/loongarch.opt.in: Add
	-m[no]-pass-relax-to-as.  Change the default of -m[no]-relax to
	account conditional branch relaxation support status.
	* config/loongarch/loongarch.opt: Regenerate.
	* configure.ac (gcc_cv_as_loongarch_cond_branch_relax): Check if
	the assembler supports conditional branch relaxation.
	* configure: Regenerate.
	* config.in: Regenerate.  Note that there are some unrelated
	changes introduced by r14-5424 (which does not contain a
	config.in regeneration).
	* config/loongarch/loongarch-opts.h
	(HAVE_AS_COND_BRANCH_RELAXATION): Define to 0 if not defined.
	* config/loongarch/loongarch-driver.h (ASM_MRELAX_DEFAULT):
	Define.
	(ASM_MRELAX_SPEC): Define.
	(ASM_SPEC): Use ASM_MRELAX_SPEC instead of "%{mno-relax}".
	* config/loongarch/loongarch.cc: Take the setting of
	-m[no-]relax into account when determining the default of
	-mexplicit-relocs=.
	* doc/invoke.texi: Document -m[no-]relax and
	-m[no-]pass-mrelax-to-as for LoongArch.  Update the default
	value of -mexplicit-relocs=.
