I imagine you are referring to http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/B= acktraces.html >From what I read it gives a very 'raw' output, very far from the beautiful= gdb backtrace with function names and function arguments values. But that is a beginning.

If that system is GNU/Linux (or anything else glibc-based), then you should= know that there's a glibc function that can produce a backtrace.
