%ebp is zero at process startup, so based on an existing comment, we are
not supposed to unwind to _start:

# Clear %ebp, so that even constructors have terminated backchain.\n\

I expect that the unwinder will note the absence of unwind data for
_start, look at %ebp, notice that is zero, and give up.  Isn't that what
happens?

Like I said, this is a pre-existing condition.

Thanks,
Florian
