[Patch mach-o/gas] fix thinko in indirect symbol handling.

indirect symbols are stored away as we encounter them, and then
processed/validated fairly late in the output.
this causes a problem if one uses a "L" local symbol as an indirect
(something which compiler-output doesn't seem to, I only found this
with one of my artificial test-cases).
the problem is that (the output-time) processing of the symbol as an
indirect causes it to be 'promoted' to a real one (with a bfd
counterpart). This ICEs GAS because the symtab is frozen by then.
Anyway, the simplest solution is to force 'promotion' of "L"ocal
symbols at the point they are known to be indirect refs.
OK?
