You are looking at the wrong symbol table. ELF objects have the dynamic
symbol table that is used during run-time linking, and symbol table used
by the static linker ld. The former table is shown by nm -D.

I suspect that you need to link the doomsday binary with the
--export-dynamic flag. See the info ld for details.
