We need to modify the ObjectFileELF::ParseSymtab() to then create synthetic symbols for these things. You will need to dig around in the ELF spec and figure out how to reconstruct symbols for such things. If you do this, then everything should work. The ObjectFileMachO pulls all sorts of tricks to make sure that we create functions for everything the object file knows about and should be considered as a block of code and ObjectFileELF should do the same.
