I didn't remember a lot as this issue is already fixed in our build system by
removing -fomit-frame-pointer.

But I remember part of the stacktrace:

_Unwind_GetGR(index=29) at libgcc/unwind-dw2.c:240 <= segfault here
_Unwind_GetPtr(index=29) at libgcc/unwind-dw2.c:251
uw_update_context_1() at libgcc/unwind-dw2.c:1410
_Unwind_Backtrace() at libgcc/unwind.inc (line number forgot)
backtrace() in libc.so.6
