You missed fixing up collect_function() as well, which is using
elf_sym__section(), which doesn't know about extended numbering.

gelf_getsymshndx() is supposed to work even for cases that don't use
extended numbering, so this should work, right?
if (!gelf_getsymshndx(syms, syms_sec_idx_table, id, sym, sym_sec_idx))
return false;
if (sym->st_shndx == SHN_XINDEX)
*sym_sec_idx = sym->st_shndx;
return true;

what do we want to do if elf_sym__get() returns error (false)? We can
either stop or ignore that symbol, right? But currently you are
returning invalid symbol data.
so either
for (id = 0; id < symtab->nr_syms && elf_sym__get(symtab->syms,
symtab->syms_sec_idx_table, d, &sym, &sym_sec_idx); id++)
or
for (id = 0; id < symtab->nr_syms; id++)
if (elf_sym__get(symtab->syms, symtab->syms_sec_idx_table, d, &sym,
&sym_sec_idx))
But the current variant looks broken. Oh, and
elf_symtab__for_each_symbol() is similarly broken, can you please fix
that as well?
And this new macro should probably be in elf_symtab.h, along the
elf_symtab__for_each_symbol.
