No, you are still changing the meaning of the function.
_bfd_elf_symbol_refs_local_p says:

/* Return true if the symbol referred to by H should be considered
   to resolve local to the current module, and false otherwise.  Differs
   from (the inverse of) _bfd_elf_dynamic_symbol_p in the treatment of
   undefined symbols and weak symbols.  */

ie. the function should only return true for *resolved* symbols.
elf32-ppc.c uses this when generating dynamic relocations as follows:

	      if (skip)
		memset (&outrel, 0, sizeof outrel);
	      else if (!SYMBOL_REFERENCES_LOCAL (info, h))
		{
		  unresolved_reloc = FALSE;
		  outrel.r_info = ELF32_R_INFO (h->dynindx, r_type);
		  outrel.r_addend = rel->r_addend;
		}
	      else
		{
		  code to output relative relocs and relocs against
		  section syms..
		}

With your change, the last block bombs when it gets an undefined sym.
