Good question. I don't have an answer but am also interested if there
is a way to do this. I just wanted to mention the strings command
in case you are not already familiar with it. I have found it very
useful to show text inside a binary.
There is a man page for strings.

Title: *How to debug binary-only modules and binaries*
Hi,
Nowadays it is not rare that we Linux FC1 users have to use binary-only
modules or user-space binaries, and even worse, those binaries are
reporting problems from time to time.
Are there any tools can we use to debug these binary-only user-space
programs and kernel-space modules at first hand?
Gdb seems mostly used for debugging binaries with sources.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
