You're right, sym->st_shndx only tells if the symbol is external
(resolved during relocation process) or internal (defined in the current shared object).
In this example "puts" is part of libc.so and not hello.
We should remove this check.
BTW dli_fbase is still wrong. It should be
info->dli_fbase = p->map;
and not
info->dli_fbase = p->base;
