No!!!  This is wrong!  .hidden and .protected must jump through the
PLT.  This is part of the whole plan.  If it does not work with the
current ld.so.: too bad.  This is brand new functionality.  Wait for
glibc 2.2 or appropriately changed loaders on other architectures.

If this already happens somewhere else in bfd, reverse it.
