Sure! <https://github.com/martok/linkermap>
I have attached the win32 binary as a release.

might have a different format. Happy to accept pull requests ;)

Borland Map files are something entirely different (and inconsistent between

Ah, so they're both exception handling. Interesting to see that is almost as
large as the actual code, at least for the "useless" test case.
