Surely you should?  You'll need to modify coffread.c and xcoffread.c
accordingly.  In the earlier iteration you were changing coffstab_build_psymtabs,
for example.  Basically you're moving checks to the callers instead, so
you should end up with roughly the same number of checks as before, not fewer.
At least logically.  They'll just be in different places.
