Alternative solution would be to minimize the information, for
example, by printing only the modules that appear in the backtrace.
But this might be complicated to implement.

It could be a list after the backtrace perhaps, and not part of the
"modules linked in"?

But then you need a generic way of capturing those modules in the backtrace
that works for every architecture.

Honestly, I don't even know what a buildid is, and it is totally useless
information for myself. What exactly is it used for?
