 Replying to [comment:11 teor]:

 fail this test on FreeBSD.
 (and NetBSD).

 Please tell us the compiler you are using.

 In our experience on macOS (#17808), clang works on x86_64 and i386, and
 gcc works on i386, but not x86_64.

 I don't think we want to merge a SKIP patch if some compilers are working.
 (We might also want to revert the FreeBSD skip patch in #18204 if some of
 its compilers work.)

 There is probably some compiler flag or coding trick that gets us the
 backtrace we want.
 I tried modifying some of the constants on macOS, but I couldn't get
 x86_64 gcc to work.
 (Tor Browser uses clang for macOS, so it's less of an issue.)
