This LGTM, but I have two question. In the future, is the intent to also
make symtabs (compunit_symtab) independent from program spaces, and
shareable across objfiles, or would that not be possible? If it is
possible, would the compunit_symtab pointer in psymtab re-appear, since
there would now again be a single compunit_symtab for each psymtab?
As Pedro pointed out a few times, unordered_map is an hash map with open
hashing. So we change what was previously a single pointer dereference
to a lookup in a hash table, followed with a linear search in a linked
list. If this map is looked up very frequently, maybe we should consider
using an htab_t instead? Some profiling data would help, but it seems
like psymtab_read_in_p is called quite a bit when looking up symbols...
