* dwarfread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Remove prototype and

	function.
	* dwarfread.c (add_partial_symbol):  Remove code to add minimal
	symbols and remove comment about limitations.  Experiments show
	that now that gdb handles the ELF symtab better for creating
	minimal symbols, that no additional information is added by
	examining the DWARF information, and in fact, given the
	limitations, the DWARF code was actually making things worse.

 	add to a partial symbol table, finish filling in the die info
 	and then add a partial symbol table entry for it.
 
-	Also record the symbol in the minimal symbol table.  Note that
-	DWARF does not directly distinquish between data and bss symbols,
-	so we use mst_data/mst_file_data for both of them.  One way we
-	could make the distinction is checking the address of the symbol
-	and then checking the flags on the ELF section that contains
-	that address to look for SHT_PROGBITS (data) or SHT_NOBITS (bss),
-	but it probably isn't worth the effort.  A side effect of leaving
-	things as they are is that the minimal symbol created from the DWARF
-	info, containing the wrong minimal_symbol_type, overrides the minimal
-	symbol created from processing the canonical bfd symbols, which
-	did have the right minimal_symbol_type.  This is probably a side
-	effect of the way the table is sorted and duplicates are discarded.
-	(FIXME?)

 NOTES
 
 	The caller must ensure that the DIE has a valid name attribute.
