But don't worry, with Ben on the case, we'll eventually get to the bottom of things, and get a fix. Meanwhile, have you thought about using LLVM's libunwind?

Yes, I have. To me, that looks like the obvious solution, but that's from the perspective of a guy on the outside looking in. I'm the guy who hated every minute of having C++ and Linux command-line barbarism inflicted upon me in college, and has avoided ever touching either one whenever possible ever since then. And I know low-level x86 pretty well, but low-level ARM is pretty far outside my experience. All I know is, it was done that way for a reason.

I asked Ben why his port isn't using LLVM's libunwind, and he said "I'm replying," so I assume the rationale for it will be forthcoming momentarily. :)
