Yes, they may very well be merged if no other platform-specific logic is
needed. There are some small differences now: SymbolVendorELF checks that
`obj_file->GetUUID()` is valid, but this fails the test I added so I removed
this check in SymbolVendorPECOFF. I also removed a few entries (those that
doesn't show up in `ObjectFilePECOFF`) from the `g_sections` list, but this
change is probably not necessary.
