I did not yet read the rest of the series to see how else your newly
added helper `sym_add_unresolved` is used.
Perhaps the callers of `alloc_symbol` should just set the symbol's
weak member to true if needed, and alloc_symbol can default to setting
it false (as the memset currently does)?

Then, you don't need the helper, and just `handle_symbol` needs the
assignment when `ELF_ST_BIND(sym->st_info) == STB_WEAK`?
