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

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