Yes, I think that's fine. Obviously that will make the test x86-specific (and probably linux-specific, although it would be great if that can be avoided (*)), but at least it will be well focused, and not relying on random timings in other tests. A less preferred but-still-better-than-status-quo option would be to keep the standard library dependency but remove the timing issues (e.g., by setting the breakpoint in fflush, instruction-stepping 100 times, and making sure you unwind correctly from each place).

(*) One way to do that is to avoid running code. If you can write the test in a way that it does not need a running process then you can just check in a tiny (linux) module, load it and query some properties of the contained functions and their unwind plans...
