  87    flag that specifies whether or not this bfd is for an executable
  88    or not (may be shared library for example), add all the global
  89    function and data symbols to the minimal symbol table.

 147 /* Scan and build partial symbols for a symbol file.
 148    We have been initialized by a call to nlm_symfile_init, which
 149    currently does nothing.
 150
 151    SECTION_OFFSETS is a set of offsets to apply to relocate the symbols
 152    in each section.  We simplify it down to a single offset for all
 153    symbols.  FIXME.
 154
 155    MAINLINE is true if we are reading the main symbol
 156    table (as opposed to a shared lib or dynamically loaded file).
 157
 158    This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
 159    user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
 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
 164    for real.
 165
 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
 172    is not currently used. */
