Implementation wise I think this looks good now!

But the name "minidump" isn't descriptive - nor is the "perform
minidump". I think you should name this rproc_coredump_using_sections()

I think set_section_name() is a rather generic name for a function
living in a header file.  So I think you should prefix this with "elf_".

Also, doesn't this function just "adds strings to a string table",
rather than "set a section name"? Is it elf_strtbl_add() ?
