    PR29677, Field `the_bfd` of `asymbol` is uninitialised
    
    Besides not initialising the_bfd of synthetic symbols, counting
    symbols when sizing didn't match symbols created if there were any
    dynsyms named "".  We don't want synthetic symbols without names
    anyway, so get rid of them.  Also, simplify and correct sanity checks.
