TBH I was not sure. Can we really have a minimal symbol that appears in
the separate debug info but not in the main objfile? I guess maybe it's
possible if one strips the main objfile.
I'll change my patch.

Sounds good, I'll try that. There is already a separate debug iterator,
so maybe that can be used as well.

I'll fix that up too.
