I think they are loaded, but I suppose it's (cross-)gdb on the host that
resolves the addresses to names (please correct me if I'm wrong); even
if it doesn't, I don't think the stub in the kernel supports reading
them. If you want to have them for symbolic debugging, you really want
vmlinux for full functionality -- it's more than just function names.

With kind regards,
