	You mean a "function called list" for each function, do you?

	NM simly maps a function name with is start address, and prints
	it out, so how can you obtain a function calling tree?

	Anyway, I don't know which machine you're working on so
	I can't tell you anything else!
	Write again on news I will give you help, if I will be able
	to do it.
