Thanks for looking into it.

I switched the order the dwfl_module_eh_cfi() and dwfl_module_dwarf_cfi()
and did not seem to help, until I noticed that 'bias' is always 0 for
the dwarf_cfi but 0x10000 for the eh_cfi (for the examples I tried).

I had code like this before:

	        cfi = dwfl_module_eh_cfi(mod, &bias);

		result = dwarf_cfi_addrframe(cfi, pc - bias, &frame);

Changing 'pc - bias' to just 'pc' for the eh_cfi, the program seems to work
for several addresses in libc. Does that change make sense ?
