gdb and pstack

[Raghavendra Rao Loka]

I am trying to build pstack for x86-64 elf64 executables. I could get reliable

stack information with debuggable executables, but since the frame pointer

isn't saved, I get trash for optimized executables. gdb, on the other hand,

does give reliable stack information. I was wondering if someone could point

me in the right direction as to what I need to do get the reliable stack information

(from what's available in the executable).
