I think there are quite a few programs of that kind these days;
Doxygen seems to come to mind.. For C++, there are class browsers.
The problem, as you noted, is that poorly structured large programs
tend to produce poorly structured large call graphs.
Whenever I have gotten involved with analyzing such code prior to
making significant changes, I've found it easier to redesign and
recode it from scratch, using the old code only for reference
concerning existing data formats, etc.
