/*
   An indirect symbol is where a global symbol in one file say's that
   all refs like it should be turned into refs of the symbol pointed
   at by the value of the indirect symbol.

   BFD supplies symbols to be indirected with the BFD_INDIRECT bit
   set. Whenever the linker gets one of these, it calls add_indirect
   with the symbol. We look up the symbol which this one dereferneces,
   and stop if they are the same. If they are not the same, copy all
   the information from the current to the dereffed symbol. Set the
   indirect bit in the flag. From now on the ldsym_get stuff will
   perform the indirection for us, at no charge.
