Re: RFA: don't use minsym name when searching block


I've committed the following, which differs from my original patch:
1) it fixes the analogous uses in the HPPAHPUX block, and
2) it includes comments explaining why using the minsym name is
   inappropriate. 

2002-08-29  Jim Blandy  <jimb@redhat.com>

	* symtab.c (lookup_symbol_aux): In the cases where we find a
	minimal symbol of an appropriate name and use its address to
	select a symtab to read and search, use `name' (as passed to us)
	as the demangled name when searching the symtab's global and
	static blocks, not the minsym's name.
