SymTabCreator allows you to create Symbol Table for a stripped app
only works for x86_64 and i386 apps (MH_EXECUTE file type)
if you disassemble a stripped binary you can see the following code:
(from the included example)
...
+56 00001ef8 e887000000 calll 0x00001f84 _exit
+61 00001efd f4 hlt
Anon1:
+0 00001efe 55 pushl %ebp
+1 00001eff 89e5 movl %esp,%ebp
+3 00001f01 83ec08 subl $0x08,%esp
+6 00001f04 8b4508 movl 0x08(%ebp),%eax
+9 00001f07 0faf450c imull 0x0c(%ebp),%eax
+13 00001f0b c9 leave
+14 00001f0c c3 ret

gdb doesn't even know Anon functions.
Note down the offsets in a file (example.symbols):
00001ec0 start
00001efe multiply
00001f0d add
00001f1c main
please note that you currently need a 8 (for i386) or 16 (for x86_64) digit hex number.
this file is then processed with SymTabCreator:
SymTabCreator -s example.symbols -o example.stabs
Now you have the symbols in example.stabs and can use them in GDB:
exec-file example
add-symbol-file example.stabs
now you've got symbols loaded and can add a breakpoint to "main" for example:
b main
SymTabCreator also supports Objective-C Methods.
00000001000c774c +[Person personWithName:city:]
00000001000c8936 -[Person name]
00000001000c8886 -[Person say:]
To create the symbols file from the Objective-C Runtime information stored in an application, use objc-symbols
