The return address column stated in the .debug_frame information for
code compiled -g is 65, however the actual unwind information refers to
register 108 when describing the return address.
This appears to be a result of the different register mappings used in
.debug_frame and .eh_frame. In .eh_frame register 65 is used both in the CIE and
in the following data.
This makes the .debug_frame information useless for backtracing, since no
valid return information is accessible.
