# Generate section listing all symbols and add it into vmlinux
# It's a three step process:
# 1) Link .tmp_vmlinux1 so it has all symbols and sections,
# 1) Link .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 so it has all symbols and sections,

# Running kallsyms on that gives us .tmp_kallsyms1.o with

# 2) Link .tmp_vmlinux2 so it now has a __kallsyms section of
