I definitely did start from your patch at PR 54572! libbacktrace definitely has improved, and now supports pecoff targets (i.e. Windows, I think). If we can get rid of the last few hurdles, then it will be a perfect solution for libgfortran, given it is already used in the compiler itself (and thus well-maintained). Obviously, the major target for which support is missing is Darwin (Mach-O object files). I have looked at implementing it, but it is well beyond my simple understanding of object files’ inner working :( FX
