The $a/$d symbol actually be added into module symbol list in checking
mod_ext_symtable in store_load_module_symbols().
While store_load_module_symbols use verify_symbol() to check the
symbol in the minisyms. It didn't check in the mod_ext_symtable stage.
I get rid of this by below patch, how do you think for it?
diff --git a/symbols.c b/symbols.c
