I don't know how portable -S is, it isn't mentioned in any standard AFAIK, and its output is very highly compiler- and architecture-specific. I'm not sure why you keep suggesting alternatives when there are a couple of promising ways to tackle the issue. Is there something about them that you don't like, or that you know won't work?
