I need to trace through a program, running on two different systems which

Before I start giving myself a gdb refresher course or manually inserting
trace messages, is there any way that I can extract a trace of procedure
entry/exits, preferably identified by name rather than by address, using
e.g. profiling hooks?
Valgrind is probably what you need. It doesn't work on windows, but
people use it with wine.
Thanks Henry and Sven. I suspect that both FPP and Valgrind will end up being a
substantial amount of work for a one-off problem... FPP in particular since it
requires Lazarus to build but I'm trying to debug part of the Lazarus build
process (bug 0018600).
I'm about to start inserting debug messages. I might be some time.
FPP does not require Lazarus to build. It does have a Lazarus frontend though.
"Currently building the tools from commandline is broken. To build them
you should use Lazarus. Start by opening the lazarus project files:"
