Alternatively, since you mentioned Lite...

Try 2009q1, which we published last week.  This release includes
support for backtrace() in GLIBC, using ARM-specific unwind
tables (which libunwind does not support).

They're tricky to support in libunwind, because the interpretation of
the table is up to an in-process personality routine, rather than the
traditional DWARF style standard layout.  But it could be done since
there are two standard formats which are used in 95% of cases.
