I agree this needs fixing, but I don't think we want to fix it with special case logic like this. There's some previous discussion in #447, but I haven't gotten back to it yet to decide what to do. |

I think most other tools just hardcode the exclusion for mapping symbols though, e.g. LLVM: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/6b3470b4b83195aeeda60b101e8d3bf8800c321c/llvm/include/llvm/Object/ELFObjectFile.h#L742 It seems like the simplest approach and I think this is appropriate; mapping symbols are a bit of a hack (fortunately well defined by the various ABIs) and need to be countered with hacks in the consuming programs. |

See the last commit of #601 for an alternative fix for this. |
