200 SYNOPSIS
201
202 void elf_symtab_read (struct objfile *objfile, int type,
203 long number_of_symbols, asymbol **symbol_table)
204
205 DESCRIPTION
206
207 Given an objfile, a symbol table, and a flag indicating whether the
208 symbol table contains regular, dynamic, or synthetic symbols, add all
209 the global function and data symbols to the minimal symbol table.
210
211 In stabs-in-ELF, as implemented by Sun, there are some local symbols
212 defined in the ELF symbol table, which can be used to locate
213 the beginnings of sections from each ".o" file that was linked to
214 form the executable objfile. We gather any such info and record it
215 in data structures hung off the objfile's private data.
