Thanks for the thoughts.  I wonder, though -- since the relocation seems to be
coming from the use of the hidden symbol and not the definition, I don't see
how it could be related to debug info.  But I'm also fairl ignorant about these
things.

I guess the thing is to figure out why ld is deciding to discard that symbol,
fix that (in our code, gcc, or gold), and then see what's left.  Is there
somewhere in gold that I should instrument, or will --debug=all be enough to
figure it out?  I'll try it tomorrow.

Cheers,

Andy
