Oh, right. Sorry, I glossed right over those comments.

I think that would be better. I'm just worried about what would happen
if checking in raw .syms files becomes a regular practice. If the
readelf output format changes, we'd have to regenerate all the
checked-in .syms files; if we avoid checking in .syms files, we'd have
only one thing to change (parse_readelf_line in plugin_test.c).
