410 Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
411 symbol tables. When more extensive information is requested of a
412 file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
413 fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols

419 dwarf_build_psymtabs() builds psymtabs for DWARF symbols;

423 like a COFF symbol table, but has only the minimal information necessary
424 for linking. We process this also, and use the information to
425 build gdb's minimal symbol table. This gives us some minimal debugging

673 Unlike other object file formats, where the debugging information format
674 is implied by the object file format, the ELF object file format and the
675 DWARF debugging information format are two distinct, and potentially
676 separate entities. I.E. it is perfectly possible to have ELF objects
677 with debugging formats other than DWARF. And it is conceivable that the
678 DWARF debugging format might be used with another object file format,
679 like COFF, by simply using COFF's custom section feature.
680
681 GDB, and to a lesser extent BFD, should support the notion of separate
682 object file formats and debugging information formats. For now, we just
683 use "elf" in the same sense as "a.out" or "coff", to imply both the ELF
684 object file format and the DWARF debugging format. */
