This doesn't read great. I mean, what is gdb/addr2line? I think you
mean either GDB or addr2line; this could be clearer.

This seems like a terrible API choice, and the comment change is no
good. I suggest you need to create a function that deals only with a
StringInfo, maybe
append_backtrace(StringInfo buf, int num_skip)
which is used by set_backtrace to print the backtrace in
edata->backtrace, and a new function log_backtrace() that does the
ereport(LOG_SERVER_ONLY) thing.
