Why do you need this information in the frist place? At least gdb does not need any of this.
If this is something that a debugger needs and it simplifies some of the interaction it would be sensible to extend the ptrace API to fetch this data. From my understanding ptrace will give you this data right now by looking at some ld.so state data (e.g. where which library was loaded). -- :wq Claudio
