A few questions below.

Hmm... this looks like code which was moved from elsewhere, yet I can't
find this elsewhere in your patch(es).

I think that other code is in debugger-make-xrefs, so can't we remove
debugger-make-xrefs?

Why let-bind print-* here rather than inside debugger-insert-backtrace?

This looks like code which was moved from elsewhere, yet I can't find
this elsewhere in your patch(es).  What am I missing?

Maybe this deserves a one-line comment explaining that the arglist part
was already printed via help-function-arglist.

The `:group 'debugger` is redundant (as is the case for all defcustom
in this file).

> +(defvar cl-print-compiled)

Is this used somewhere?

This `cl-prin1` should be replaced with debugger-print-function, right?
