I'm curious if you tried it on the test case in this PR.

Thoughts? Yeah, growing these is to be avoided. My patch for this added a method to symbol_computed_ops instead. Unfortunately gitorious is acting weird so you can't see the patch online :-(. But you can fetch from https://gitorious.org/binutils-gdb/gdb.git and look at the branch static-link-fix if you like.
