It's not that easy to write a little sample. It may well be the used libs
or the whole tool-chain. That's why I try to find it myself.

I couldn't quite make out in symtab.c a place where the filenames
get set. But I saw in elfread.c, elf_symtab_read that quite some
minsyms got the filename write.c set though they are not in this
source file. I'll see what else I can find.
