194 Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
195 symbol tables. When more extensive information is requested of a
196 file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
197 fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols

201 useful for building gdb's minimal symbol table. The first is a list
202 of the publically exported symbols, and is currently used to build
203 bfd's canonical symbol table. The second is an optional native debugging
204 format which contains additional symbols (and possibly duplicates of
205 the publically exported symbols). The optional native debugging format
