Yep, that's about what I had in mind.  How about:

  set_main_name ()
  set_main_symbol ()
  is_main_symbol ()
    - if a main symbol is set, check if it is the same symbol
    - otherwise, check if it has the same name as passed to
      set_main_name

(with appropriate care for when we change object files.... to one
without a DWARF-2 main symbol, even...)
