The manpage (dated Feb 25 2002) says:
RESTRICTIONS
pstack currently works only on Linux, only on an x86 machine
running 32 bit ELF binaries (64 bit not supported). Also,
for symbolic information, you need to use a GNU compiler to
generate your program, and you can't strip symbols from the
binaries. For thread information to be dumped, you have to
use the debug-aware version of the LinuxThreads libpthread.so
library. (To check, run nm(1) on your pthreads library, and
make sure that the symbol "__pthread_threads_debug" is
defined.) Threads are not supported with the newer NPTL
libpthread.so library.
So the pstack tool is probably useless on modern systems.
