This is handy but gives no _static_ symbols. I start with backtrace()
and then create a pipe to addr2line (part of binutils). This gives
static symbols and the exact line numbers. You could also post-process with
addr2line I suppose...

Now if it only printed arguments like gdb...

It really seems like a useful feature for a libgdb since gdb already
knows how to do it.
