Building a debugger and profiler is quite an advanced task compared to building an assembler though ^^

Also much of that work is heavily dependent on the used operating system.

Nevertheless, I'm wishing you all the best on your journey!

Really? You can get quite far just with ptrace() on Linux... and maybe something like system("nm xxxx > file") for the symbols.
