There is also such a library, at least in the official GNAT distributions.
If I list the available libraries for GNAT/Win 3.13p,  it is there:

  ...
  libmsvcrt.a
  libshell32.a
  libgmon.a
* libaddr2line.a
  libbfd.a
  libiberty.a
  libversion.a
  libcomctl32.a
  libcomdlg32.a
  ...

Starting from the 3.13 version, GNAT provides optionally an
integrated trace-back.
When I try to make use of it the linker says
  c:/ada/gnatdos/g314dos/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -laddr2line

Hence my question. 
I will rather call the addr2line program.

Thank you for your help
