[PATCH] i386: Allow -mlarge-data-threshold with -mcmodel=large

When using -mcmodel=medium, large data is placed into .l* sections.  GNU ld
places .l* sections into separate output sections.  If small and medium
code model object files are mixed, the .l* sections won't cause
relocation overflow pressure on sections in -mcmodel=small object files.

However, when using -mcmodel=large, -mlarge-data-threshold doesn't apply.  This
means that the .rodata/.data/.bss sections may cause relocation overflow
pressure on sections in -mcmodel=small object files.

This patch allows -mcmodel=large to generate .l* sections.
