I think it might be possible to write a program that would extract the symbol 
names from an object file, un-mangle them and build a .di file from this 
information. If this could be done, then this could be linked into the compiler 
and then pass this .di file off to the code that parses it. (or the .di generator 
could be re worked so that it inserts the symbol directly into the symbol 
table)
