I cannot find a better way to hook into GDB symbols lookup machinery.
It looks to me that GDB is operating on assumption that symbol information
is static (except for shared objects loading), and it not frame-specific.
The code emitted by JIT does not conform to these assumptions.
IMHO what I am proposing has the beginnings of the approach to
overcome this difficulty by allowing unwinder to have its own symbol handler.
It this approach looks reasonable, obviously more changes are needed,
but I'd like to have a confirmation that the approach is reasonable.
