Yes you can do this with LLDB. If you load a binary and dump its symbol table, you will see the information you want. For symbols that are lazily bound, you can look for "Trampoline" symbols:
cd lldb/test/lang/objc/foundation
make
lldb a.out
(lldb) target modules dump symtab a.out
Symtab, file = .../lldb/test/lang/objc/foundation/a.out, num_symbols = 54:
Debug symbol
|Synthetic symbol
||Externally Visible
|||

All lazily bound symbols will have type Trampoline:

The other symbols that are exernal are marked with an "X" (which is a boolean flag on each symbol).
The symbols can be accessed via the SBModule:
size_t
SBModule::GetNumSymbols ();
lldb::SBSymbol
SBModule::GetSymbolAtIndex (size_t idx);
And then you can get the symbol type from each SBSymbol:
SymbolType
SBSymbol::GetType ();
I just added the ability to see if a symbol is externally visible:
% svn commit
Sending include/lldb/API/SBSymbol.h
Sending scripts/Python/interface/SBSymbol.i
Sending source/API/SBSymbol.cpp
Transmitting file data ...
Committed revision 153893.
bool
SBSymbol::IsExternal();
So your flow should be:
SBDebugger::Initialize();
SBDebugger debugger(SBDebugger::Create());
SBTarget target (debugger.CreateTarget (const char *filename,
const char *target_triple,
const char *platform_name,
bool add_dependent_modules,
lldb::SBError& error));
SBFileSpec exe_file_spec (filename);
SBModule exe_module (target.FindModule(exe_file_spec));
if (exe_module.IsValid()
{
const size_t num_symbols = exe_module. GetNumSymbols();
for (size_t i=0; i<num_symbols; ++i)
{
SBSymbol symbol (exe_module. GetSymbolAtIndex(i));
if (symbol.IsExternal())
{
}
if (symbol.GetType() == lldb::eSymbolTypeTrampoline)
{
}
}
}
