I have already discussed this w/ christos, but wanted to state for
the record:

        - This is wrong.  At least one part of the change breaks
          all the other ELF ports that use this code.

        - The MacOS booter can get the symbol table the same way
          that db_elf.c does, by chasing the ELF headers.  This
          is the only way you can get at the string table, and
          is also the only way to deal with the multiple symbol
          tables that ELF is allowed to have.
