Well, it could interfere. Assuming that leading char is the underscore.
The first test would now find "gcc_compiled.", but not "_gcc_compiled.".
When skipping the leading char before testing, the same test would now
also find "_gcc_compiled.". If that's ok, I don't have a problem to
change it as you like. Otherwise, I'd propose the below patch, which
avoids that problem.

* minsyms.c (install_minimal_symbols): Move dropping leading
char from linkage name from here...
(prim_record_minimal_symbol_and_info): ...to here. Simplify
test for "__gnu_compiled*" symbols.
