This is caused by the logic in resolve_symbol_value(), following this comment:

	  /* If we have equated this symbol to an undefined or common
	     symbol, keep X_op set to O_symbol, and don't change
	     X_add_number.  This permits the routine which writes out
	     relocation to detect this case, and convert the
	     relocation to be against the symbol to which this symbol
	     is equated.  */

I'd think this as well needs to distinguish local from global symbols, and
apply only for the former. Alan, Nick?
