I think this is the wrong way to implement this.  It introduces a new
function with rather unclear semantics.  When is a program supposed to
call bfd_real_symbol_address()?  Why don't you have to change nm.c and
ar.c while you are at it?

Richard's suggestion of mangling the values on the way in seems
plausible.  Alternatively, add a new disassembler hook to frob the
symbol table.
