In addition to Clang + LTO I wonder if use of -ffunction-sections
these days is more likely to push us over SHN_LORESERVE even on
individual .o files. If so then this may also be necessary to prepare
for other patches being proposed such as (off the top of my head)
some KASLR changes being discussed.

I like these extra helpers. When we convert to objtool it will be easier
to see how they change or get removed entirely in favor of objtool data
structures or libelf accessors.

I noticed this returns an unsigned int ...

While this is not explicitly called out as an unsigned int. Perhaps we
could just make this and new_shnum explicit unsigned ints and then...

If we make the unsigned int change proposed above can we reuse new_shnum
here like so:
ehdr->e_shnum = w2(new_shnum);
So this if/else is doing the inverse of get_shnum(). I think the code
could be cleaned up a little and prepare for moving to objtool by
putting it in a helper function.

Could you break this out into a helper function? find_symtab() maybe? Again, I think
that helper would go away with conversion to objtool.
(and even if we don't convert to objtool I think the helpers will make
the code easier to read)
