Some time ago (Solaris 9 development) I put walkcontext()
and printstack() into Solaris.  Linux introduced backtrace()
at some point; there are now programs that will use either
one (dovecot, for example), but there are others that confine
themselves to backtrace() only.

It's fairly simple to support for backtrace, backtrace_symbols,
and backtrace_symbols_fd for Solaris using the existing
walkcontext and support code for printstack().  Is this worth
doing?
