It's time to cut our losses and split the mdebug and heuristic cases. 
Lets work through this change after I've done that.

In the mean time, can I encourage you to look at the s390 and it's 
stub-unwinder - the MIPS desperatly needs one of these (and it is 
something that can be wipped up in isolation).  To see where its needed 
do a STEPI into shlib trampoline code.
