You can use nm or objdump tool to dump symbol table.

If you do objdump --syms /bin/ls ,It will show no symbols

objdump use the section headers of elf file.
If the file is striped, i guess we can't find symbol?

You will have to do that before you strip away the static symbol table.

Fedora stores debug packages for all versions. 'core-utils' example :
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu....fc10.i386.rpm
> coreutils-debuginfo-6.12-17.fc10.i386.rpm
cd /usr/lib/debug/bin/ && 'objdump --syms ls.debug' : Will show 760 lines symbols.

More info : Google .. static symbol table binaries ..
