Some symbols are observed with the 'st_value' field zeroed. E.g. libc.so.6 in Ubuntu contains a symbol '__evoke_link_warning_getwd' which resides in the '.gnu.warning.getwd' section. Unlike normal sections, such kind of sections are used for linker warning when a file calls deprecated functions, but they are not part of memory images, the symbols in these sections should be dropped. This patch checks the section attribute SHF_ALLOC bit, if the bit is not set, it skips symbols to avoid spurious ones.
