Here it is, along with a new hook to be used to convert the SYMFIELD
of a local symbol when it is converted to a global symbol.  Ok to
install?

BTW, how do you feel about exporting local_symbol_make() (or
local_symbol_create, that would be called by it to allocate and
initialize the local symbol, without adding it to the local hash
table), so that it can be used to create the GOT, GOTOFF and PLT
symbols?  Currently, I'm using symbol_create() to create the symbols
without inserting them in the symbol table, which causes such pseudo
symbols to take up more memory than needed.
