Lately Matthew Dillon told:

It's the relocation table (array of Elf32_Rel[a]). It doesn't hash the
string table or symbol table.
Hashing the rel[a] entries should be enough, because that's effectively
what we are working on. Actually as I'm writing this, we might want to
hash the symbol table too.
