Coming at this problem from a different angle, just a hypothetical:
Would it be acceptable to add -fno-omit-frame-pointer and
-mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer to the default compiler flags on RHEL?
It seems unlikely. Given typical hardware replacement cycles,
hardware-assisted backtrace without severe limitations will be widely
available soon, and it should have even less overhead than frame-pointer
traversal.
