According to elf format specification:

For an symbol table entry, the st_name field "holds an index
into the object file’s symbol string table, which holds the
character representations of the symbol names. If the value
is non-zero, it represents a string table index that gives
the symbol name. Otherwise, the symbol table entry has no
name."

And so called "object file’s symbol string table" is a
section in the object file which index is stored into
ehdr and be loaded during gelf_getehdr(), and its index
would be set to ehdr->e_shstrndx. So I think for each map
its name should be saved in that string table.

Will send a patch for it.

Thank you.
