Quoting from the comment added to the code:
// Objective-C on i386 uses artificial absolute symbols to
// perform some link time checks. Those symbols have a fixed 0
// address that might conflict with real symbols in the object
// file. As I cannot see a way for absolute symbols to find
// their way into the debug information, let's just ignore those.
