Wouldn't it be better to fix the backtrace stuff for PowerPC, so that
the top frame is not mentioned twice when it shouldn't?
I mean, if it annoys the tests (where IMHO it is still useful to test
the numbers, to avoid e.g. having some unrelated frames being printed first
or bugs like this to be caught), it will annoy users as well.
