How about using the "from" (that you called "link") to follow the list.h
style and provide:

map__find_symbol_by_name_from(map, sym, filter, from);

And use it to implement map__find_symbol_by_name():

map__find_symbol_by_name(map, sym, filter)
{
return map__find_symbol_by_name_from(map, sym, filter, NULL);
}

Your loop would then become:

link = NULL;

while ((sym = map__find_symbol_by_name_from(map, name, NULL, link)) != NULL) {
if (sym->binding == STB_GLOBAL || sym->binding == STB_LOCAL)
found++;
link = sym;
}

And no map__find_symbol_by_name() callsites would have to be touched.
