We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around and generate symbols by looking at both of these. This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time. Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and no dynsyms). Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored. This fixes 2 issues: - Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains function descriptors. - On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a dynsym section. Assumptions: - If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority image with a dynsym section. - This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section (ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).
