[without actually looking at it...]

(A) Is there any reason not to do it for all Linuxen in
config/nm-linux.h?

(B) Why do we need /proc to do this?  We should be able to use the
information in the link map - which we already access in solib-svr4.h -
to get all of this.

I've got nothing against adding linux /proc support, but I don't see
why it's needed for this.
