apitrace 5.0 bundles libbacktrace, which looks like is living within the gcc sources. libbacktrace is not build as a shared library from the gcc sources, and not packaged.
Is it feasible to build libbacktrace as a shared library and ship it in a corresponding package?
No.
Or should I rather go for a bundling exception request?
I'd say so.
ghdl, a VHDL compiler, can produce better run-time diagnostics if libbacktrace is available:

Is there (still) a good reason why gcc can't make libbacktrace available as a shared library?
Thanks, Eric
