But for that you really don't need the symtabs stored in the binaries/shared libraries, you can just have the backtrace without symbols printed + print relevant build-ids at the beginning, a script at any time can reconstruct that into not just the symbol names, but also lineinfo. And the build-ids will help even if you want to look at further details (.debug_info, source files).
