Not in this case. While HP's tools arrange (via pxdb) to avoid duplicates,
other HP toolchains do not.
Short term none of the GNU toolchains on the PA remove duplicates. That will
likely change for the PA64 toolchain (dwarf2 + elf), but it is unlikely to
ever change for the PA32 toolchain (stabs + som).
In general, if we find ourselves tuning towards one particular toolchain, then
we are probably going down the wrong road.
