// Note, that this function doesn't find all symbols that we would like
// to find. E.g. static functions do not appear in the symbol table
// as function symbols, but each one seems to be a separate section.
// Therefore, to get completely satisfying results, we would need to scan
// the shared object's section headers, if we don't find the a matching
// symbol.
// as function symbols, but as sections without name and size. The .symtab
// section together with the .strtab section, which apparently differ from
// the tables referred to by the .dynamic section, also contain proper names
// and sizes for those symbols. Therefore, to get completely satisfying
// results, we would need to read those tables from the shared object.
