 Well, as deep as necessary. Why should depth matter? Shouldn't
generating an XML-ish stack be straight forward?

 Anything that would let me test its output by generating an XML dump
and then somehow reconstruct original dump based on the XML feed, so
things is idempotent

 My intention isn't really hacking into binaries, but somehow getting
and tracking -detailed- dependency relationships in binaries and how
they relate to source code. Maybe you know of a better tools or you
have a better idea about how should one approach such a task

 Any suggestions?
