I was having a little closer look at what is going on here and noticed
that HJ unconditionally emits a NULL STT_FILE symbol before emitting
forced local symbols. That means we really don't need a second pass
over forced local symbols. The only reason for two passes is when
some forced local symbol can be emitted before the NULL STT_FILE. So
I set about removing the second pass, updating the testsuite all over
again. It's also unnecessary to emit the NULL STT_FILE when no
previous file symbol has been emitted.

* elflink.c (struct elf_outext_info): Remove need_second_pass
and second_pass.
(elf_link_output_extsym): Delete code handling second forced
local pass. Move code emitting NULL STT_FILE symbol later, so
that it can be omitted if forced local is stripped. Don't
emit the NULL STT_FILE if no file symbols have been output.
(bfd_elf_final_link): Remove second forced local pass.
