Interesting. Most of the changes go along with what's already being done in 
the BFD version in obj_coff_endef . The first culprit I'd look would be this 
change:

	if (S_GET_STORAGE_CLASS (symp) == C_NULL)
	{
	  if (!S_IS_DEFINED (symp) && !SF_GET_LOCAL (symp))
	    {
	      assert (S_GET_VALUE (symp) == 0);
	      S_SET_EXTERNAL (symp);
	    }
	  else if (S_GET_SEGMENT (symp) == text_section
	           && symp != seg_info (text_section)->sym)
	    {
	      S_SET_STORAGE_CLASS (symp, C_LABEL);
	    }
	  else
	    {
	      S_SET_STORAGE_CLASS (symp, C_STAT);
	    }
	}
