If I recall correctly, rdynamic is symbol support for relocateable code
in general. Normally you wouldn't need it except when dynamically
linking; I suspect it performs some kind of utility aid for the
debugging functions that works in just the same way as dlopen would use
it.

Now maybe someone could answer this; I added -rdynamic and it improved
the output by naming functions, but the arguments to the function were
still not useful, they still look like offsets rather than what my
sample had (like calling a function with an int of 1, then 2, then 3, so
on...and showing up as something far different). Is there some way to
expand on this debugging to get even more information, such as local
variable values and formatted (meaningful) argument call values?
