Why's that?  (Since it also applies to the static-linking PoC I'm
 putting together.)  What do you gain by having the components be
 kernel-visible?
(Bad analogy time: the kernel doesn't care about the .o files you
 linked together to make a userspace executable; any debugging you
 do on that relies on other userspace infrastructure — loading
 symbol tables into a debugger — to interpret things.)
