"at least not locally". The unwind info can always be found in the
target's memory.
There are two choices here:
- make the interface more remote friendly
- just ignore the issue until someone complains
Hmm, a good question to ask is "how cross debug friendly" is libunwind.?
If its anything like libthread-db then this discussion is mute.
