[gfortran,patch] Allow backtracing non-library errors

[FX Coudert]

OK, I've found why I couldn't see it before: it happens on x86_64- 
linux only with -m32.

Yup, somehow the glibc backtrace() function thinks the error happened  
at 0xffffe500, but addr2line can make anything out of that address.  
Somehow, gdb is smarter than that. The following small C testcase  
show this:

$ cat a.c
#include <stddef.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <execinfo.h>

void
handler (int signum)
{
   void *trace[50];
   int depth = backtrace (trace, 50), i;
   char **str;

   str = backtrace_symbols (trace, depth);
   for (i = 0; i < depth; i++)
     printf ("%s\n", str[i]);

   _exit (1);
}

int main (void)
{
   int * foo = NULL;

   signal (SIGSEGV, handler);


   *foo = 42;
   return 0;
}

$ gcc a.c -m64 -g && ./a.out
./a.out [0x40060e]
/lib/libc.so.6 [0x2aeb0d8c2110]
./a.out [0x40067b]
/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xda) [0x2aeb0d8af4ca]
./a.out [0x40052a]

$ gcc a.c -m32 -g && ./a.out
./a.out [0x80484a3]
[0xffffe500]
/lib32/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xd3) [0xf7e0cea3]
./a.out [0x80483d1]



 From my experiments, it's always the top-most frame that is missing  
from the backtrace. I'll post this to the glibc mailing-list, and see  
if there is a workaround.
