Interestingly, scan_for_self_assignment checks for this case and
changes how it is printed in map files to avoid the problem... but
that's the only effect it has! That can't be right.
I have a cheesy workaround that seems to work, except that the map
files still have a bogus value that doesn't match the output file.
