Right, understood - thanks for pointing that out to me. I should have
mentioned that the original platform was SPARC Solaris and the new
platform is I386 Linux.

With that said, am I absolutely-totally-100% out of luck with being
able to find function argument addresses? Or is there some way of
doing this?

Ideally, I'd like to write the following solution in C:
* List all function calls with corresponding function argument list
for each function

Thanks,
-Pavel
