204DESCRIPTION
205
206 Given an open bfd, a base address to relocate symbols to, and a
207 flag that specifies whether or not this bfd is for an executable
208 or not (may be shared library for example), add all the global
1ab3bf1b 209 function and data symbols to the minimal symbol table.

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.

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