Why doesn't GDB sort the static partial symbols? The way I read
lookup_symbol, it looks like, on a failed search, we frequently look
at every single static partial symbol in every single file for which
the symtab hasn't been read in, which doesn't seem like a good idea to
me. Are there situations where the order is important?
