The critical file is config/sparc/linux.h, where we need to define
MD_FALLBACK_FRAME_STATE_FOR. This routine is basically just a
structure copy, copying each register from the save area in the
sigcontext left by the kernel to the frame state in the unwinder.
There are already examples for PPC, x86, and Alpha.
