It's not something that I have tried, so take with a grain of salt.
The only way I can think of is to transform the symbol-table data
into another format that GDB understands (for instance, an ELF symbol
table). For instance, if you could do an objcopy from your format to
ELF, then you can load the symbols from that ELF object file using
add-symbol-file.
