Modulo the overhead, a poor man's way of doing it might be to leverage
off a debugger like gdb that allows you to dump symbol information.


e.g. to get line number information:


                echo maint print symbols /tmp/foo | gdb -r a.out >/dev/null
awk '
/^Symtab for file/ { f=$4 }
/^ line / { print $4, f, $2 }
                ' /tmp/foo
