In LoongArch and RISC-V, the relaxation pass iterates over input sections within executable output sections. When a linker script places a synthetic section (e.g., .got) into such an output section, the linker would crash because synthetic sections do not have the relaxAux field initialized. The relaxAux data structure is only allocated for non-synthetic sections in initSymbolAnchors. This patch adds the necessary null checks in the relaxation loops (relaxOnce and finalizeRelax) to skip sections that do not require relaxation. A null check is also added to elf::initSymbolAnchors to ensure the subsequent sorting of anchors is safe.
