LOCAL FUNCTION

	elf_symtab_read -- read the symbol table of an ELF file

SYNOPSIS

	void elf_symtab_read (bfd *abfd, CORE_ADDR addr,
			      struct objfile *objfile)

DESCRIPTION

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

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

/* Scan and build partial symbols for a symbol file.
   We have been initialized by a call to elf_symfile_init, which 
   currently does nothing.

   SECTION_OFFSETS is a set of offsets to apply to relocate the symbols
   in each section.  We simplify it down to a single offset for all
   symbols.  FIXME.

   MAINLINE is true if we are reading the main symbol
   table (as opposed to a shared lib or dynamically loaded file).

   This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
   user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
   Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
   symbol tables.  When more extensive information is requested of a
   file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
   fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols
   for real.

   We look for sections with specific names, to tell us what debug
   format to look for:  FIXME!!!

   dwarf_build_psymtabs() builds psymtabs for DWARF symbols;
   elfstab_build_psymtabs() handles STABS symbols.

   Note that ELF files have a "minimal" symbol table, which looks a lot
   like a COFF symbol table, but has only the minimal information necessary
   for linking.  We process this also, and use the information to
   build gdb's minimal symbol table.  This gives us some minimal debugging
   capability even for files compiled without -g.  */
