    Arm64/ELF: accept relocations against STN_UNDEF
    
    While only a secondary issue there, the testcase of PR gas/27212 exposes
    an oversight in relocation handling: Just like e.g. Arm32, which has a
    similar comment and a similar check, relocations against STN_UNDEF have
    to be permitted to satisfy the ELF spec.
