I use "set debug symtab-create 2" and see lines like:

  Recording minsym:  mst_text                         0x403578     0  EnterCriticalSection

The code that prints this is in minsyms.c line 1143, function
minimal_symbol_reader::record_full [1].  It should be common to all binary formats.

Maybe you are based on an older commit?  This was added last week.
