Is this for GNU/Linux?

On GNU/Linux, DWARF unwinding information (in the form of
PT_GNU_EH_FRAME) is not optional, it is required by the ABI (although
many people pretend it's not, resulting in crashes or worse).

I'm worried that we have to add both in the future, DWARF data and CTF
data, which would be rather bad.

Thanks,
