I believe Casper insisted that rsym strips the stabs symbols away... Which
it does. It also removes COFF symbols. In return, it puts back the .rossym
section which is about 1/5th the size of the .stabs symbols. The .rossym
section contains the minimum info you need to do symbolic stack traces.

By the way, since the .rossym section is marked NEVER_LOAD, "strip" will
happily remove it for you if really must.
