Summary:                    Implementation of backtrace() from glibc would be
useful
Description: 
The backtrace() function (and its friends backtrace_symbols() and
backtrace_symbols_fd()) would be a very welcome addition to uClibc.  I
have no idea how hard it is to implement, but if it's not-that-hard, I
would at least consider it a very useful addition.  It is excellent for
debugging.

Hi, 

I added backtrace support for uClibc 0.9.28 for both x86 and arm/xscale.
For the latter platform, you may need to tweak your compiler settings to
use -mapcs (arm procedure calling standard). This adds a bit overhead on a
per-function call basis but does the trick.

Have a nice day!
