Watch your kernel compile carefully.  If the SYMTAB_SPACE is too small,
then there will be a warning message after the kernel is linked.

For evbarm, I have a symbol table without having to do any of these
things.  I do occasionally have to bump up the SYMTAB_SPACE, though,
as the code size seems to steadily increase.
