I wrote a little tool in Python that, when given an xmon stack trace on the command line, gives you a list of the equivalment function names by sifting through System.map (xmonstacktrace must be run in the same directory as System.map).
Now, the great thing would be to have this included in xmon with the bootloader beeing able to load the System.map along with the kernel. I think Cort already "prepared" for this in 2.3.x. Another thing that would be useful: Currently, xmon works in "on-screen" mode on all PMU-based machines. It would probably be easy to add this capability to CUDA and other PS/2 like machines. It would be a bit more difficult for the USB keyboards since a special polling routine should be added to the OHCI driver, but since the new macs lacks serial ports... ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
