+Advance the inferior's PC past a permanent breakpoint. GDB normally
+steps over a breakpoint by removing it, stepping one instruction, and
+re-inserting the breakpoint. However, permanent breakpoints are
+hardwired into the inferior, and can't be removed, so this strategy
+doesn't work. Calling SKIP_PERMANENT_BREAKPOINT adjusts the processor's
+state so that execution will resume just after the breakpoint. This
+macro does the right thing even when the breakpoint is in the delay slot
+of a branch or jump.

symbol tables are stored (see @file{symtab.h}, @file{gdbtypes.h}), you
will find it much easier to understand the code which uses and creates
those symbol tables.
