Well, since I'm the original poster, I'll try to clarify.

Say you have a.out, a stripped executable that was linked dynamically with
a shared library.  (nm won't work here, right?)  Assuming I did it right,
ldd only told me, "Yes, it's using this shared library."  But I want to
know the functions in the shared library that will be used when the
executable is exec'd.
