fstack's, and its pre-cursors - gstack and pstack, first priority is 
speed - get in, get a backtrace, get out - and I think it is fair to 
assume that having to scan multi-megabytes of .debug info would run 
against that goal (fstack probably shouldn't look in .debug_line by 
default either).

Perhaps an option << fstack -a >> to reverse the goal and display 
everything known about the function would address this.
