See gen_function in tccgen.c.
There is a put_extern_sym that associates the current position in the
text section with the name of the function. The size of the function
in the symbol is changed after gfunc_epilog has been called.

Well, s1->got->reloc is allocated in the first call to put_elf_reloca.
One could change the definition of for_each_elem to check if elem is
NULL before each iteration.

For your other questions I don't know the answer.
