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.
