 #11223 added a type `SymbolInfo` to `ObjectCode`. This is adding a larger
 memory overhead to the RTS then need by.

 `SymbolInfo` is used to determine if a symbol is weak or not. This
 information can be moved into it's own structure inside `ObjectCode` like
 a map. Since the majority of the symbols will not be weak this map should
 be fairly small.
