Hello,

is there any C-API function in libgdb.a (or some other library) which
returns a call stack (something 'bt' like)?

No; but you might find backtrace() useful if you're on a
glibc-supported platform.

But there probably should. How hard is it to create a `target-self' that uses local memory, and a jump-buf for registers? The tricky bit, I see, is the symbol table assuming a single global structure.
