Make a list of every linux programs which use a certain function

Question

I'd want to ask you something, that maybe is unfeasible. I would need to make a list of programs that use a certain c system function (e.g., mkdir()). Is there any smart way to do that in Linux Ubuntu? I don't know, maybe combining apt-get source with grep, or something like that. Such a list has not to be filled with any existent program that uses that function, I'd just need some of them (e.g., the ones that I have installed on my pc). Thanks in advance.

Function names don't change after compilation, so you may simply look for it in the compiled application file. Make a grep on binary file without dissambling. It will be there.
