No one else needs to do this, in fact.  This is from the symfile
section_offsets callback; but why can't you do this in the
solib relocate_section_addresses callback instead?  In fact, you
already do, so it is not at all clear to me why you need to adjust the
offsets here.  Other targets only need to adjust the one copy in the
section table.

Ah, I think this normally works via
build_section_addr_info_from_section_table.  Which produces the second
parameter for som_symfile_offsets.  Which is now valid for shared
libraries.  It's just that the way that function _uses_ it is bogus for
shared libraries.  Instead of finding the .text offset you'd have to
honor the section indexes.  See default_symfile_offsets.

Also the two solib-som.c functions setting offsets use different data
offsets, so beware that.
