Sorry, I don't understand: if all you need is to profile primitives,
why do you need a full C-level backtrace? The primitives called are
already available in the backtrace_list structure, aren't they?

It's possible on Windows. If it isn't possible with pthreads, that's
just too bad. Anyway, getting at the stack pointer does not yet give
you the backtrace.

See emacs_backtrace on sysdep.c. Not sure about the portability of
the underlying APIs.
AFAIK, any backtrace facility is specific to the object file format
and the debug info used by the platform. Compiler optimizations and
various non-local jumps complicate things a lot. My suggestion would
be not to go there, unless absolutely needed and desirable, because it
most probably be in a constant need of maintenance to keep up with
development of the underlying platform, compilers, etc.
