This is what debug information does.  It is not the responsibility of 
the binutils but rather the compiler to generate the appropriate 
information.  The binutils tools objdump and readelf can be used to 
display generated debug information in a very basic format, but you will 
probably want to use a tool like GDB to actually process this information.
