Come to think of it, assuming Roland's approach is used (and also
assuming I understood it correctly :-) ), it would need ptrace
machinery, a DWARF reader and a pretty printing facility.

GDB already has the the first two parts and the latter is hopefully just
around the corner. I fail to what would be left for libstrace2, or what
would be GDB's benefit in using it.
