158 This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the

160 Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
161 symbol tables. When more extensive information is requested of a
162 file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
163 fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols
166 Note that NLM files have two sets of information that is potentially
167 useful for building gdb's minimal symbol table. The first is a list
168 of the publically exported symbols, and is currently used to build
169 bfd's canonical symbol table. The second is an optional native debugging
170 format which contains additional symbols (and possibly duplicates of
171 the publically exported symbols). The optional native debugging format
