libaddr2line used to be a proprietary library distributed by AdaCore
only. (I'm not sure if it was intentionally proprietary.)
IIRC, libaddr2line never was suitable for tasking. If you can get a
copy of the ALT packages of GNAT, you'll find an implementation of the
client code in the GNAT run-time library which bypasses these problems
by invoking /usr/bin/addr2line.
Java implementations needs to solve pretty much the same problem. How
is it done in GCJ?
