I was being figurative :-) We already know we need to do it.

I already have a 30% or so hack which handles creating inline function
frames. It works well enough for simple backtraces. But the symbol
table side of it is all rotten, so it's not very useful - segfaults a
lot.

I also have the first 20% or so of setting breakpoints on multiple
locations implemented, which is a necessary partner to that. But
that's even less finished.

Ask me if you want either set of code. The latest version of the
latter is in the gdb-patches archive from early this year. I don't
think I ever posted the former - too gross.

If you want to work on anything without duplicating effort, it behooves
_you_ to discuss it on the mailing lists first.
