resolving symbols with FORTIFY_SOURCE?

Hi,

How exactly do you resolve the symbols with crashes caused by software 
compiled with FORTIFY_SOURCE=2?

I'm seeing a crash in xsupplicant (from extras) and would like to get 
it fixed, but as the program is halted by glibc/kernel, I can't run 
gdb on it to backtrace and to get the symbols.  Installing debuginfo 
doesn't help; debuginfo can be used to find the symbols manually (w/ 
objdump) but doing so would be a lot of work though.

I googled around quite a bit but couldn't find any automation or help 
(akin to old 'ksymoops') in decoding the numbers.  There's very 
probably something, but I just can't find it.  Or if there isn't, we 
should certainly merge it.

Any pointers?
