libaddr2line used to be a proprietary library distributed by AdaCore only. (I'm not sure if it was intentionally proprietary.) IIRC, libaddr2line never was suitable for tasking. If you can get a copy of the ALT packages of GNAT, you'll find an implementation of the client code in the GNAT run-time library which bypasses these problems by invoking /usr/bin/addr2line. Java implementations needs to solve pretty much the same problem. How is it done in GCJ?
