Here is a new version of my patch to implement DW_OP_call_frame_cfa.
Previous thread here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00191.html
With followup the next month (I wish our mailing list archive handled
this more nicely):
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-07/msg00570.html
This version implements Daniel's idea of checking the frame unwinder.
If you read the followup message (above) you'll see that this patch is
different from what I talked about there; that approach doesn't work
since the DWARF frame base sniffer is not registered for many
architectures. Jan suggested the current approach.
This version includes a test case.
Built and regtested on x86-64 (compile farm).
I also ran the tests locally, since the new test is x86-only.
FWIW, you can also easily generate this opcode using svn gcc with
-gdwarf-3.
One further issue is that this interacts poorly with the i386 epilogue
unwinder. I punted on this issue for the time being. However, with GCC
4.5, I think the DWARF unwinder is supposed to work fine for epilogues
-- so can we make the epilogue unwinder conditional? Is this special
unwinder only needed for reverse execution? If so, could we make it
conditional on when that mode is enabled?
I don't think this particular issue affects whether this patch should go
in.
Let me know what you think.

* frame.h (frame_unwinder_is): Rename from frame_base_is.
* frame.c (frame_unwinder_is): Rename from frame_base_is.
Rewrite.
* dwarf2-frame.c (dwarf2_frame_cfa): Use frame_unwinder_is and
get_frame_base.
