I'm not sure what readelf -s is supposed to do, but I guessed it lists 
various function names.  So I used nm.

sr1-usan-10$ nm /pkg/gnu/bin/xemacs-21.4.19 | grep XtRegisterDrawable
[6690]  |   2083280|       0|FUNC |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |XtRegisterDrawable
sr1-usan-10$

And, now, after a bit of snooping, I see we have greadelf. So

sr1-usan-10$ greadelf -s /pkg/gnu/bin/xemacs-21.4.19 | grep 
XtRegisterDrawable
  3079: 001fc9d0     0 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND XtRegisterDrawable
  6690: 001fc9d0     0 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND XtRegisterDrawable
sr1-usan-10$

Thank you for giving this such prompt and detailed attention.
