Yep. Try objdump. The -D option provides the shotgun approach.
If you've done a gcc -g, then you'll see interspersed 'C' source
lines.
It is remiss of the gcc manpage not to mention this command under
"SEE ALSO", IMHO. (But objdump is part of binutils, so it's perhaps
too OT to warrant a mention. ;-)
