Comment (by Tarrasch):

 Now both the source note patches[1] and DWARF emitting patches[2] have
 been merged, and will be included in GHC 7.10. That means (afaik) that you
 should be able to get stack traces when you run your program with a
 debugger.

 As the feature freeze for 7.10 was quite a while ago, Haskell-land stack
 traces can't be merged for 7.10 unfortunately. What's currently missing is
 a DWARF-reading library in the RTS that we're happy with and then the
 actual stack trace implementation.
