I looked at this a bit more.  That "10576" is just wrong.
I ran it again and got 1522 converted by unmodified gdb, and 1796
converted on my branch.

So, while we are still converting more psymtabs, it isn't nearly as
bad as it looked.

All the extra conversions are from the libc debuginfo.
I'm still not sure what is going on, but I'm not as concerned.
