So you're saying that some symbols get adjusted, by say X bytes, while
some other symbols are adjusted by a different, Y value, or are _all_
the symbols adjusted by the same value, i.e. one that could be adjusted
in 'struct map' instead?

Sure, the minimal fix should be not to change the key (sym->start/end)
after you add it to an rbtree that uses that key.
