I'd thought of that, but as an experiment, I looked at the kernel
modules on my 10.0 system (105 of them are present
in /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.11-smp) and all of them are like this one:

% file extra/acx_pci.ko
extra/acx_pci.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
not stripped

According to nm, that particular module (the first in an alphabetical
list) has 384 symbols:

% nm extra/acx_pci.ko |wc -l
384
