'-D' 'KBUILD_MODSYM=main - like KBUILD_MODNAME, without the quotes ?

... and somethings not right.  debugger KBUILD_SYM shows it:
these records are same as those shown in early boot output pasted previously

these records look right

Theres evidently something wrong with my KBUILD_MODSYM _dyndbg_site here,
the site pointers in all the headers appear the same,
but maybe its just an effect of initialization,
which I expect to reshape with a union - struct to use the space efficiently

at any rate, I'll probly work this a bit, see if I can resolve a few
problems
