Recent versions of ksymoops contain code to handle 64-bit MIPS flexibly and are expected to take care of address aliases. They don't works very well, though, and I've done a few fixes. They are available in a ksymoops 2.4.8 package at my site and hopefully will be applied in a future release. Anyway the cross-ksymoops case referred by Gilad is tricky -- you need to build ksymoops linking against an appropriate BFD library, i.e. one that supports a MIPS64 target. Additionally MIPS64-specific nm and objdump programs have to be available to that ksymoops binary (cf. KSYMOOPS_NM and KSYMOOPS_OBJDUMP environment variables). For detailed information on using a cross-setup see the ksymoops documentation. -- + Maciej W.
