So IMHO there is no regression here.  PR 1505 should be closed.  If
the length of the backtraces is a problem, we should probably set a
sensible backtrace limit.

Try and convince a user of that :-) This is, right or wrong, a situtation where we're the ones that get to push for a solution.

To that end, two ideas:

- add a GNU extension to dwarf2 that identifies the frame as outer-most

- have the CFI unwinds back to the exact same identical frame (causing GDB to throw up its hands)
