For other commands one can successfully get output with
ui_file_xstrdup() from gdb_stdout, but for backtrace it doesn't work. Simply 
there is nothing in buffer when anotate_*() functions are called. Maybe that 
is wrong way how to retrieve output from GDB. I don't know GDB internals so 
well.

Function list is a different thing. There is attempt to mess directly with 
debug info and my first attempt to modify it for GDB-6.0 failed. I have't 
looked more though.

PS. Looked, what is annotation level 2 (set annotate 2). As I remember there 
were discussions about deprecating it.It seems that it could be rather 
usefull if we would use it here and analyze full output instead of trying to 
get it from anotate_*() callbacks.
