Regarding this thread on c.o.m.d., did someone ever look into the guts
of the BFD function coff_find_nearest_line (it's in bfd/coffgen.c)
from Binutils?  As I said, it fails miserably for some very common
cases where our libdbg.a functions work.  I can spot several wrong
assumptions in the code, but I'm not sure they explain all the
failures I've seen, and I didn't yet have enough time to debug this.

To test, compare output of addr2line program with what SYMIFY prints
for the same image.
