Just to clarify. KALLSYMS is required to figure out the symbol
addresses on a kaslr system. There's no way to look them up in a
System.map file or the object file, since the addresses aren't going
to match.

Your symptoms really sound like you might not have KALLSYMS enabled.

I wonder if we have a "select KALLSYMS" as part of RANDOMIZE_BASE,
since you need it for debug messages too (random hex numbers aren't
too useful ;)
