I've always wondered why we need to do that. Couldn't we just
create a .o file directly? The base name of the input file would
be a good choice for the symbol name.

Another thought: is there a way to keep all the symbol names with
the kernel and make that data itself available? When I get some time,
I'd like to put full symbol information in the kernel like most
other modern unix systems do.
