I had the same problem, since I use GNAT to build a math library that
is very generic... The result is a primitive interface that makes all
the job: call GDB, filter useless info, show the call stack with filenames
and optionally source lines. 

You can download an OLD version in archive AD.ZIP at:

    http://www.unine.ch/math/Personnel/Assistants/Gautier/Gaut_FTP.htm

that doesn't deal with generic units, but if you want the LAST version,
that does, and is more robust, I can send it to you via e-mail or ftp
(till I meet the guru who has the keys of my Web pages...)
