This was an early unwinder written by Greg back before we had UnwindLLDB and RegisterContextLLDB - it hasn't been modified in a couple of years except for mechanical changes made across the source base.

What architecture are you debugging?  Thread::GetUnwinder() should use UnwindLLDB for x86_64, i386, arm and thumb.  It will use UnwindMacOSXFrameBackchain for any other architectures .... but it should probably just fail instead.
