i686 or x86_64?

It doesn't help if your system libraries are compiled with
-fomit-frame-pointer, which I think is likely to be the case on
x86_64.  (Although with gentoo maybe it's used everywhere.  Can you
check?)

And the glibc backtrace() stack walking code didn't work across
signal handlers, last I tried, so that wouldn't help here either.
