Pedro, I haven't looked very closely at the code yet, but I have a few
worries.  The GCC debug information tends to underspecify the saved
registers in the unwind info.  The unwinder code deals with
"unspecified"[1] registers by assuming they have the same value as in the
"inner" frame.  How does your new code treat such "unspecified"
registers?

[1] "unspecified" is different from "undefined"
