Is def_info.name the right name to be loading here? I thought that was the alias and that you'd actually want to load the target symbol?

--defsymappears to be used in many places. Moreover, once this feature is merged, we can begin extending linker scripts further by implementing support for symbol aliases within the scripts themselves.
