To fix that, I think I need to know if a symbol in a
debug-section, which is global in the input, should always be
forced local (or just non-dynamic).

That's what elf_link_add_object_symbols /
_bfd_elf_link_hash_hide_symbol does.  Either that's wrong (i.e.
it should only be forced non-dynamic, not also local), or the
generic linker is wrong for not doing that too, in the name of
consistency (to ld-mmix/sec-6m.d).

Right, this is an accidental exposure and not really the purpose
of the test-case, but it's still an inconsistency.  Just hiding
it would be Wrong, IMHO.
