    find-debuginfo.sh: Only add minisymtab for executables or shared libraries.
    
    It only makes sense to add a minisymtab for executables and shared
    libraries. Other executable ELF files (like kernel modules) don't need it.
    Since those don't have a dynsym section trying to add it will fail and
    produce confusing errors from nm.
