Since the offsets into the string tables are "table relative", this
is typically used to adjust the pointer in order to have it actually
point to the name referenced:
space.name.n_name = space.name.n_strx + som_header.space_strings_location;
Now space.name.n_name refers to the actual name instead of the index.
