A lot has changed.  The frame unwinding interface is eccentric in a
different way than it used to be.  :)  Actually, it's much more
well-defined, and well-behaved.  The gdbarch methods for calling
functions and extracting their return values have changed.  So there's
a lot of work entailed in bringing a port forward.
