If you are using gcc, you can try using __builtin_return_address.  See
    http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0.2/gcc_5.html#SEC112
It's not particularly convenient since the argument must be a constant
integer.  You may well wind up having to write your own stack
backtracer.

In any case, this question is not appropriate for the binutils mailing
list.  This is not a list for questions about writing programs.  It is
a list for discussion of the GNU binutils.  Since I think you are
talking about an embedded system, you might try the crossgcc mailing
list:
