We seem to be _almost_ to the point of having libunwind working now.
The only failure I'm still seeing is missing sigreturn/setcontext,
which are referenced from src/x86/Gos-linux.c. Adding the full
ucontext stuff would be a pain (lots of arch-specific code), but we
could cheat and handle just setcontext with minimal code by letting
the kernel do all the work (it requires a syscall anyway to set the
signal mask, so we might as well let the kernel do all the work by
implementing setcontext in terms of SYS_rt_sigreturn).

With that said, I suspect the function in src/x86/Gos-linux.c that's
using sigreturn and setcontext is utterly useless; its purpose seems
to be unwinding across signal handler boundaries, which cannot happen
in correct programs anyway. Replacing the whole function with
something like *(volatile char *)0=0; (i.e. crash) should get you a
working libunwind.
