from the data symbols and give them the correct minimal_symbol_type.
Add file static symbols to the minimal symbol table, not just
global symbols.  Add absolute symbols as well (like _edata, _end).
Redo stabs-in-elf special symbol handling now that file static
symbols are entered into the into the minimal symbol table.
