However, I see GDB is somehow able to extract file/function info,
and afaik, it's using libbfd...
1. Which copy of bfd should I be linking against (i.e. the one in
gcc, or gdb, or binutils...?)
There's a copy of bfd in the Apple version of gdb that has some
functionality, but...
2. Is bfd_find_nearest_line simply unimplemented on OS X, or is
there something deeper?
Something deeper. Mostly bfd is unsupported for OS X unfortunately.
3. Do you know how GDB extracts line info? (i.e. suggestions for
workaround/next step?)
I'd suggest using the bfd work for OS X available from the Apple
version of gdb.
