I think it's high time we ditch addr2line and go
with something like Casey Marshall's DWARF-2 reader
by default, using addr2line only as a fallback
mechanism:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2005-q2/msg00002.html
(I couldn't find the original patch from CM in the
mail archives.)
IIRC, BFD was not license-compatible and elfutils
was restricted to ELF systems and is not widespread.
My 2p.
