part of the symbol table to become zeroed, which would cause
the kernel linker to fail to parse it.
(this was probably zeroing out other memory parts as well)

not relocated addresses but it was given relocated offsets.
Although relocating the symbol table fixed this, it broke the
linker, that already handled this case.
Thus, the fix for this consists in adding a new DDB macro:
DB_STOFFS(offs) that converts a (potentially) relocated offset
into one that can be compared with symbol table values.
