Pedro> Do we take care of always clearing this before starting a new symtab?

If we don't, then I think it is an existing bug, not affected by this
patch.

But, we do take care.  The various symbol readers install
really_free_pendings as a cleanup.

buildsym in general is a mess, mostly because it works using a lot of
globals.  It's never been actively bad enough to fix, though -- it came
close with the dwz work, but still managed to dodge a big cleanup.
