The elftoolchain-based binutils replacements (nm, addr2line, etc.)
work well, although there are a few remaining features that need to be
implemented in some of them.  They also inherently support (at least
some) cross-arch use cases.  I'm hopeful that they'll see these
features added, and be imported, before too long.
