One should only use st_shndx when >SHN_UNDEF and <SHN_LORESERVE. When
SHN_XINDEX, then use .symtab_shndx. Otherwise use 0.

This handles the case: st_shndx >= SHN_LORESERVE && st_shndx != SHN_XINDEX.

Thanks. However that leads to atrocious codegen because w2 is an
indirect function, something like the below seems much better.
Oh, I didn't notice that.
I'll update in v4.
Thanks!
