Yes, I have.  To me, that looks like the obvious solution, but that's from
the perspective of a guy on the outside looking in.  I'm the guy who hated
every minute of having C++ and Linux command-line barbarism inflicted upon
me in college, and has avoided ever touching either one whenever possible
ever since then.  And I know low-level x86 pretty well, but low-level ARM
is pretty far outside my experience.  All I know is, it was done that way
for a reason.

I asked Ben why his port isn't using LLVM's libunwind, and he said "I'm
replying," so I assume the rationale for it will be forthcoming
momentarily. :)
