This would really a hard task. But I have another solution:

Sinc I'm using only stabs debugging info, I had the problem
with a missing symify which understands the stabs. So I wrote
my own gsymify, which undertands both formats (since it is
based on BFD) and which hs the same (or better) functionallity
of symify. There is only one "limitation". Since it is linked
with libbfd it is GPL'd and not like symify.

If there is general interest of it, I would make a distrib
in the near time. But this will not include the BFD lib, the
user will be forced to download either binutils sources or
gdb sources (hopefully 4.17 in the next time).

BTW: The sources for it are already part of the RHIDE source
distrib.

No, I asked this already some time ago, but there was no
majority for it.
