ping [PATCH][LD][MSP430] Fix LD errors when linking LTO debug objects

When invoking GCC with "-g -flto", the compiler will create LTO objects with
debug information. The objects created are "simple ELF" objects (see
libiberty/simple-object-elf.c) and do not have target-specific sections.

When the MSP430 linker sees one of these objects without a .MSP430.attributes

error: /tmp/cc4LhbEI.ltrans0.ltrans.o uses MSP430X instructions but /tmp/ccynqIwudebugobj uses unknown
error: /tmp/cc4LhbEI.ltrans0.ltrans.o uses the small code model whereas /tmp/ccynqIwudebugobj uses the unknown code model
error: /tmp/cc4LhbEI.ltrans0.ltrans.o uses the small data model whereas /tmp/ccynqIwudebugobj uses the unknown data model
error: /tmp/cc4LhbEI.ltrans0.ltrans.o uses the small code model but /tmp/ccynqIwudebugobj uses the unknown data model
failed to merge target specific data of file /tmp/cc4LhbEI.ltrans0.ltrans.o

The following patch allows these debug LTO objects to be linked with other
MSP430 objects even if they do not have a .MSP430.attributes section.

If the patch is acceptable, I would appreciate if someone would commit it
for me, as I don't have write access.
