Thanks for the hints!

Creating it at the point the directive is seen does indeed lead to
multiple-definition errors.  The attached patch, however, seems to work.

I need to write test cases, ChangeLog, and run the testsuite -- but I
thought it would be worth posting here to get comments since I'm a GAS
novice.  Does this look sensible?  Are the arguments to symbol_new for
segment and fragment plausible?

Thank you,
