I'd like to know platforms for which this feature does NOT work, so
that we can fix the problem (preferably) or disable this feature at
./configure time for such platforms.

To see if it works for your platform, please perform the following
steps:

1. build 9.7.0b1
2. go to the "bind-9.7.0b1/bin/tests" directory
3. % make backtrace_test
4. % ./backtrace_test

On success, "backtrace_test" simply exits without any output (I know
it's not a good UI); if something goes wrong it will dump some warning
messages to stderr and exit with a non-0 exit code.  If the test fails
on your platform, please report it to bind9-b...@isc.org, including
the OS, its version, and hardware architecture (x86, amd64, sparc,
etc).

There are several known defects:
- this feature doesn't work if it's built with libtool
- this doesn't work for Windows (probably obvious)
these cases don't have to be tested.

Thanks,
