PR 54749 points out that if libbacktrace fails to read the debug info
from the executable (in the case of that PR, due to memory exhaustion)
the compiler will print multiple error messages.  The library already
has a mechanism to avoid this, and this patch uses that mechanism.
Bootstrapped and ran libbacktrace testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Committed to mainline.
