  Thanks for that script.  I think it has problems with my -ffunction-sections
-alike naming scheme (or perhaps I'm just invoking dot wrong, I haven't used
it before), but after running ldmdot over one of my .map files, I get this
error feeding it to dot:

dk@espanola /artimi/firmware/build/dlx-lomond-artimi/dot153mac/mac> dot
mac.dot

Error: /usr/local/lib/graphviz/config is zero sized, or other read error.
Error: mac.dot:4: syntax error near line 4
context: etherdme_text_EtherDme_SetInstance_o -> >>>  . <<<
bss.thisDme./artimi/
firmware/build/dlx-lomond-artimi/dot153mac/mac/pal/ethernet/etherdme.o ->
etherd
me_bss_thisDme_o;
Error: Layout was not done.  Missing layout plugins?

  Line 4 of mac.dot actually says:

------------------------quote------------------------
etherdme_text_EtherDme_SetInstance_o ->
.bss.thisDme./artimi/firmware/build/dlx-
lomond-artimi/dot153mac/mac/pal/ethernet/etherdme.o -> etherdme_bss_thisDme_o;
------------------------quote------------------------

i.e. those >>> and <<< are dot's error markers and it's complaining about the
period at the beginning of the symbol name.  Does dot require these symbols (I
assume they're treated as graph node identifiers?) to only have alphanumerics
and underscores?

    cheers,
