From rust's std:

If no frames came out assume that this is an unsupported platform since backtrace doesn't provide a way of learning this right now

This seems like a reasonable feature request?

Research direction

Start with the linked Rust std backtrace code, then inspect how this crate handles platform support and empty backtraces. Define how callers can learn that a platform is unsupported, and identify the relevant tests or platform-specific behavior needed to verify that distinction.
