Tor checks for libexecinfo on every platform, and links it if required
(see #17151 in 0.2.7.4-rc.)
Based on what we discovered in #17808, support for execinfo seems to vary
by compiler and architecture on BSD-derived platforms.
So either Tor is calling backtrace() in an architecture-specific manner,
or the compilers are not including debug info in the right format.
If you can work out how to fix this issue, we'd love some help in #17808.
