Commit a7fd11862703 bumped this to 38 without any justification. (By its
name DT_SYMTAB_SHNDX might look to not match the scheme intended to be
used above the boundary, looking more like a d_val kind of tag than a
d_ptr one, but from its description it really is an address. Plus even
that would only justify bumping to 35.)
I think that part of the change wants reverting, unless an up-to-date
spec [1] has moved the marker.

[1] In search for a new place where the gABI doc would live I found
https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/9OO5vhxb00Y, but that doesn't
indicate what github project, if any, would have been created. Hence
for now I can only refer to the about 10 years old version on sco.com.
