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.

We output a NULL STT_FILE symbol for forced local symbols so that they
are not associated with the STT_FILE symbol for real local symbols. This
patch makes sure that the NULL STT_FILE symbol is placed before forced
local symbols.
