libc: allow to backtrace out of abort call
Build raise and abort function with dwarf2 info by using
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables to make backtrace() working across a
call to abort.
A scenario where it could be useful is within a signal handler that
wants to dump a backtrace when catching some signal (i.e SIGABRT).
Without having abort & raise built with DWARF2 information, it is not
possible for the libgcc stack unwinder to walk through the call stack
out of the abort/raise function.
Impacts in terms of size are really limited
