- file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
- fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols
- for real. The function dwarf_psymtab_to_symtab() is the function that
- does this for DWARF symbols.
-
- Note that ELF files have a "minimal" symbol table, which looks a lot
- like a COFF symbol table, but has only the minimal information necessary
- for linking. We process this also, and just use the information to
- add to gdb's minimal symbol table. This gives us some minimal debugging
