The system.map also contains local symbols, it's just that most of them
like the ones starting with a dollar-sign get filtere out during generation
of System.map.  Just checkout the output of mipsel-linux-objdump --syms
<kernel>.

Anyway, as these symbols are local symbols they are visible in the symbol
table but cannot be referenced from another file, so the old code was ok.
So if your change really makes a difference this smells like a bug in the
assembler / linker.
