Before I added the call to copy_indirect_symbol in elf_fix_symbol_flags,
it was called from two other places in elflink.h, both of which have
ind->root.type == bfd_link_hash_indirect.  The new call has an assert a
few lines before that guarantees ind->root.type is bfd_link_hash_defined
or bfd_link_hash_defweak, so it may be better to test

if (ind->root.type != bfd_link_hash_indirect)
  return;

I'm making up a patch now..
