wrt GDB nobody has submitted it upstream yet. And as I stated I am neither going to submit it nor review it for GDB, I assume someone else from GDB team will. > OK, dwfl_module_addrsym () uses a search over the symbols as returned by > dwfl_module_getsym ().

As I already stated I found the same problem for merging in ppc64 dot-symbols and the merge looked somehow more complicated and not needed for the use case I had for the dot-symbols. As the change to dwfl_module_addrsym was very small (to look up two different "symtabs") as I have done I find the merging feature (to support also name->addr lookups) as a possible future extension on top of it.
