That could be done via GCC. It should also be doable without
changing the compiler, by enhancing glibc's 'backtrace' function.
GNU binutils contains code to do this, in its addr2line command,
and presumably we could use similar code inside Emacs. Emacs
could link to libbfd on systems that have it, or it could
bundle libbfd, or it could invoke the command-line tool
addr2line to get the relevant info. Whichever's easiest,
presumably.
