Not impossible, just silently corrupted if the symbol numbers were
wrong. modutils 2.3.11 added a sanity check on the number of local
symbols, a version before 2.3.11 would accept any local symbol number
and overrun the allocated table if the number was out of bounds.
Sometimes the toolchain creates valid symbol numbers, sometimes an
invalid number will not cause any problems. It is pure luck if it
works.
