   Symbolic debug information, for dwarf2 is stuff found in .debug_info. 
   CFI and eh-frame are lower level than that.

Well, CFI is normally found in .dwarf_frame, which is at the same
level at .debug_info.  There is also CFI in .eh_frame, but in general
only for C++ code (or code compiled with -fexceptions).  Only on amd64
CFI in .eh_frame is generated by default.
