+.. rubric:: GDB and GNU ``backtrace()`` unwinding support
+
+The JIT compiler now publishes unwind information for generated machine code to the
+GDB interface on supported Linux ELF platforms. When libgcc frame
+registration is available, the same unwind information is also registered for
+GNU ``backtrace()`` stack walkers. This allows native debuggers, crash
+handlers, and diagnostic tools using these mechanisms to unwind through JIT
+frames instead of stopping at generated code.
