The most recent unwinder could be adapted for SJLJ execption handling.
The code in GetStackTraceElements bracketed with ifdef SJLJ_EXCEPTIONS
could use dladdr() to fill in the start address of each method. Given
that, _Jv_StackTrace::ClassForFrame will find the class. This does
require a working dladdr(), though.
