While find_secsym_ndx often finds the unamed local STT_SECTION, if a
section has only one function in it, the ARM toolchain generates the
STT_FUNC symbol before the STT_SECTION, and recordmcount finds this
instead.
This is problematic on ARM because in ARM ELFs, "if a [STT_FUNC] symbol
addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the address of the
instruction with bit zero set (in a relocatable object, the section
offset with bit zero set)". This leads to incorrect mcount addresses
being recorded.
Fix this by not using STT_FUNC symbols as the base on ARM.
