Yeah, that's what I already got with objdump. It gave me all typedefs in 
one text file.
What I want is a Disassembler or Debugger that actually uses this 
information to make the assembler code more readable.
I mean, from the objdump output, I can see that the debug information 
holds all variable's names and their type. The types themselves (if 
custom) are also defined. Therefore, a disassembler could use that to 
make the code easier to read.
Do you see what I mean?
