Description
Currently, when using GDB, the only symbols it recognizes are from stage0.o. I want to fix this to use symbols from all source files.
I could possibly look into doing something to flatten all of the symbols. Maybe have NASM generate symbol files? Generally, I need to look into how GDB handles these symbols.

Research direction
Start by examining how stage0.o is built and how GDB currently discovers its symbols across the source files. Read the NASM and GDB documentation relevant to symbol files, then define a reproducible debugging check showing symbols from every source file rather than only stage0.o.
