I'll take it out again until this is resolved.

Thanks. Or we can just fix the test, since it sounds straightforward.


The issue is, the test contains a hand-coded artificial signal
frame/handler consisting of a single "ret" instruction.

My new epilogue unwinder recognizes the "ret", so it lays
claim to the frame before the dwarf unwinder has a chance.

It still does a proper backtrace, but of course it doesn't
show the <signal handler> tag, it just shows the function name.

What do you think?  Could we maybe add a nop here or something?
I don't understand the details well enough to speculate.

That ought to work, with a comment about what it's there for. Just don't push/pop to change the stack layout.

Ah, thank goodness, it works. Will submit separately.
