/* Scan and build partial symbols for a symbol file.
   We have been initialized by a call to elf_symfile_init, which 
   currently does nothing.

   ADDR is the address relative to which the symbols in it are (e.g.
   the base address of the text segment).

   MAINLINE is true if we are reading the main symbol
   table (as opposed to a shared lib or dynamically loaded file).

   This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
   user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
   Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
   symbol tables.  When more extensive information is requested of a
   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
   capability even for files compiled without -g.

    Unlike other object file formats, where the debugging information format

    separate entities.  I.E. it is perfectly possible to have ELF objects
    with debugging formats other than DWARF.  And it is conceivable that the
    DWARF debugging format might be used with another object file format,
    like COFF, by simply using COFF's custom section feature.

    GDB, and to a lesser extent BFD, should support the notion of separate
    object file formats and debugging information formats.  For now, we just
