I don't think so. The linker sections work just as before.
But you changed elf_finish_pointer_linker_section, in a way which
appeared to be significant.

But adding a symbol does not affect any section's size, except the
symbol table section, but anyway its size a computed afterwards.
The size of the dynamic symbol table section, on the other hand, is
computed in size_dynamic_sections.
