Yes, backtrace() is not implemented on MIPS.  [1] has some details.

If you are knowledgeable about MIPS calling conventions and would
like to work on this, I imagine the people at <libc-ports@sourceware.org>
and this list would be happy to help.

See sysdeps/*/backtrace.c for examples of the functions that would
need to be implemented (from other architectures).

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
