Which two calls do you mean? The File type has these methods: DynamicSymbols, ImportedSymbols, Symbols. The .gosymtab section is not an ELF symbol table. It holds the information used for stack backtraces, including runtime.Callers and friends. The format is roughly as described at https://golang.org/s/go12symtab, although that is out of date and there have been various changes.
