On bfd there's a function (which doesn't seem to be documented):
- bfd_get_synthetic_symtab
What is this synthetic symbol table?

Symbols that aren't in the object file, but BFD can infer and finds
useful. For instance, most platforms don't put a symbol on each PLT
entry. But disassembly is more useful if it says "branch to
memcpy@plt" instead of "branch to _init - 0x54".
