natThrowable.cc defines java::lang::Throwable::fillInStackTrace.
This does the actual work. It is deceptively short because it relies
on glibc functionality. (On ia64 we use _Jv_ia64_backtrace in
sysdep/ia64.c.)

Andrew will have to address that. I forgot why we did it this way.
Maybe licensing?

As far as I know, that is indeed the case right now.
