202DESCRIPTION
203
204 Given an open bfd, a base address to relocate symbols to, and a
205 flag that specifies whether or not this bfd is for an executable
206 or not (may be shared library for example), add all the global
1ab3bf1b 207 function and data symbols to the minimal symbol table.

209 In stabs-in-ELF, as implemented by Sun, there are some local symbols
210 defined in the ELF symbol table, which can be used to locate
211 the beginnings of sections from each ".o" file that was linked to
212 form the executable objfile. We gather any such info and record it
213 in data structures hung off the objfile's private data.

631 Unlike other object file formats, where the debugging information format
632 is implied by the object file format, the ELF object file format and the
633 DWARF debugging information format are two distinct, and potentially
634 separate entities. I.E. it is perfectly possible to have ELF objects
635 with debugging formats other than DWARF. And it is conceivable that the
636 DWARF debugging format might be used with another object file format,
637 like COFF, by simply using COFF's custom section feature.
638
639 GDB, and to a lesser extent BFD, should support the notion of separate
640 object file formats and debugging information formats. For now, we just
641 use "elf" in the same sense as "a.out" or "coff", to imply both the ELF
642 object file format and the DWARF debugging format. */
