No idea. If so I'd say those other targets are broken as well (as long as
the concept of frame pointer makes sense on them, their ABI defines one
but leaves it optional and something like an unwinder could make use of
it).

I don't have one handy. Idea: make two threads, one endlessly looping in
the "frame-less" function, the other causing a signal to the first thread,
and the signal handler checking that unwinding up to caller of
frame_less() is possible via %[er]bp chaining.
Ciao,
