gas 1.34 doesn't seem to want to allow absolute symbols to be externally
visible.  I use gas built for sparc but I suspect this problem is generic.
Observe the following:

% cat t.s
	.globl  symbol
	.set	symbol,10
% gas t.s -o t.o
% od -x t.o +0x0
0000000  0103 0107 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000010  0000 000c 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000020  0000 0004 0200 0000 0000 aaaa 0000 0009
0000030  6161 6161 0000
0000035
%

Note byte 0x24 is 02 when it should be 03.  This means I can't link t.s
with another file that refers to 'symbol' and expect the symbol to be
resolved.
