Ah! That's the part I missed (that the symbol values are available in
the debug info). The above solution indeed satisfies me. Thanks a lot
for taking your time!

Note that the "--dbgfile" option is not described in the online docs
for ld65 at http://www.cc65.org/doc/ld65.html . Maybe I should not use
those docs, but some other docs included in the distribution?

Very understandable. Thanks again!
