The word "target" is overloaded, so lighten its load by using another word to denote the symbol or section to which a reloc points. While more stilted than "target", "referent" is rather less pompous than "designatum" or "denotatum". :P
Along the way, make a few neighboring variable names more descriptive.
IMO s or sym is fine here, there's no confusion about what it's referring to within the body of this method
