There are a few options to deal with this sort of problem.

As Jan said, the JIT could generate debug info using one of the
gdb-provided JIT interfaces.  That's kind of heavyweight but gives a lot
of control.

Another option is to write an unwinder in Python.  The crucial thing
here is to ensure that the frame ID is constant for the duration of a
frame.  In DWARF this is done by using the CFA as part of the identity;
for the JIT you'd want to do something similar.  I thought there was
already such an unwinder for OpenJDK at least... ?
