Hmm, maybe you need to call some of the ELF backend functions like 
elf_backend_finish_dynamic_symbol or elf_backend_finish_dynamic_section 
or elf_backend_adjust_dynamic_symbol or even 
elf_backend_size_dynamic_section.  These are all defined in 
bfd/elf-bfd.h although their implementations may be target specific.

Cheers
