And indeed the latter being more strict than the former, the former
should be dropped.

So we're moving between the extremes, and (as said in reply to v9)
I think we really want to be somewhere in the middle.

Andrew? Ross?

You've added the suggested (transformation of the expression above)
check there, so the check here is now redundant and hence could be
dropped, or simply be converted to an ASSERT().

You've fixed the message text in elf_get_sym() but not here.

Considering the different types of the expressions on both sides of
the ==, wouldn't it be better for offset to be of Elf_Off type?

And similarly here, for delta to be Elf_Word? Both more along the
lines of what elf_resolve_section_names() has...

As said, this also needs to become arch-specific.

Since this uses e_shnum as a boundary, it would seem more logical
for this to be done after the e_shnum check itself.

The message text is now stale (but may become correct again if the
conditional gets changed again).

As said - the right side of the || is weaker than the left side, and
hence should be dropped.
