gdb is able to read a bunch of different debugging formats, and has a
lot of code which is implementation dependent.
However, it is very easy to get the traceback for the ELF format which
can be found on many machines. Look at "plumber" sources, and see how
it does extract the traceback. However, that requires reading the
program itself to parse ELF headers and structure, and this can be
very time and CPU consuming.
