Hey Josh,

I just noticed that this patch does not correctly handle duplicate
sym_names. To fix, the "--no-group-separator" option should be added
as follows:

> -               done < <(echo "${ELF_SYMS}" | sed 's/\[.*\]//' | ${AWK} -v sec=$sym_sec '$7 == sec' | sort --key=2)
> +               done < <(echo "${ELF_SYMS}" | sed 's/\[.*\]//' | ${AWK} -v sec=$sym_sec '$7 == sec' | sort --key=2 | ${GREP} -A1 --no-group-separator " ${sym_name}$")

Would you like me to re-submit the patch series with this fix?

Thanks,

Brian
