   Hmm, how can I see in gdb on which symbol it is working? It asserts in the
   following code ppc_elf_finish_dynamic_sections() while checking dindx, which
   always seems to be 0 then and it seems to happen in all kind of sections.

	 for (s = output_bfd->sections; s != NULL; s = s->next)
	   {
	     int indx, dindx;

	     sym.st_value = s->vma;

	     indx = elf_section_data (s)->this_idx;
	     dindx = elf_section_data (s)->dynindx;
	     if (dindx != -1)
	       {
		 BFD_ASSERT(indx > 0);
		 BFD_ASSERT(dindx > 0);

		 if (dindx > maxdindx)
		   maxdindx = dindx;

		 sym.st_shndx = indx;

		 bfd_elf32_swap_symbol_out (output_bfd, &sym,
					    (PTR) (((Elf32_External_Sym *)
						    sdynsym->contents)
						   + dindx));
	       }
	   }

The dynindx field should be being set for all the sections in
    ppc_elf_size_dynamic_sections
Is that happening?  If it is happening, where is the dynindx field
being cleared?
