Is this win32.cc:backtrace()? If so, I think all it would take is to
build the latest libunwind on Windows/x86. The current libunwind
release does support x86 via frame-chain-based stack-traces (no,
that's not the final solution, but it's certainly good enough for
_Unwind_Backtrace() as long as the frame-chain is being maintained).
This wouldn't buy you much at the moment, but it would be a benefit if
the libunwind implementation for Windows/x86 is improved over time.
