If "ELF file has no symbols" is valid, it's a bit odd for
load_symbols to report it as a failure by returning -1.
This only works because load_elf (the only caller) just
ignores the return value entirely. OTOH I suppose you
could argue that we can just ignore any oddity in the
attempt to load symbols (eg bogus/malformad symtab section).
If so, we should probably drop the return value from
load_symbols().
