   The core psymtab functions -- those in psymtab.c -- arrange for
   nearly all psymtab- and psymbol-related allocations to happen
   either in the psymtab_storage object (either on its obstack or in
   other memory managed by this class), or on the per-BFD object.  The
   only link from the psymtab storage object back to the objfile (or
   objfile_obstack) that is made by the core psymtab code is the
   compunit_symtab member in the standard_psymtab -- and a given
   symbol reader can avoid this by implementing its own subclasses of
   partial_symtab.

   However, it is up to each symbol reader to maintain this invariant
   in other ways, if it wants to reuse psymtabs across multiple
   objfiles.  The main issue here is ensuring that read_symtab_private
   does not point into objfile_obstack.  */
