Is it reasonably easy to attribute individual entries in pclntab to specific symbols? If so I'd love to add this capability to https://github.com/google/bloaty which already tries to do per-symbol analysis of many other sections (eh_frame, rela.dyn, etc).

It's reasonably easy for a specific Go release, but the details can and often do change from release to release. At some point we may write a more detailed, general-purpose binary size analysis tool that could dump JSON for bloaty to import, but today that tool does not exist.
