Originally, the intent behind symtab was to represent the symbol table seen in the PE header (without applying ARM64X relocations). However, in most cases outside of `writeHeader()`, the code references either both symbol tables or only the EC one, for example, `mainSymtab` in `linkerMain()` maps to `hybridSymtab` on ARM64X. MSVC's link.exe allows pure ARM64EC images to include native ARM64 files. This patch prepares LLD to support the same, which will require `hybridSymtab` to be available even for ARM64EC. At that point, `writeHeader()` will need to use the EC symbol table, and the original reasoning for keeping it in `hybridSymtab` no longer applies. Given this, it seems cleaner to treat the EC symbol table as the “main” one, assigning it to `symtab`, and use `hybridSymtab` for the native symbol table instead. Since `writeHeader()` will need to be conditional anyway, this change simplifies the rest of the code by allowing other parts to consistently treat `ctx.symtab` as the main symbol table. As a further simplification, this also allows us to eliminate `symtabEC` and use `symtab` directly; I’ll submit that as a separate PR. The map file now uses the EC symbol table for printed entry points and exports, matching MSVC behavior.
