Description

We should probably try to make sure backtrace's tests run against a variety of linkers, so that something like https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/pull/627 doesn't creep up on us again.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing backtrace-rs test setup and the regression described in pull request 627. Determine which linker variants can be exercised and how the project runs its tests. Done means the test suite runs against a meaningful variety of linkers and would catch the reported regression.
