Yes, that seems to work.

Sorry I wasn't clear. They're meant as alternatives.

But only some of the lisp backtrace appears as calls to Ffuncall (the
primitives?). In the example that I gave, the lisp backtrace has two
levels:
Lisp Backtrace:
"load"
"normal-top-level"
but the C backtrace has only one call to Ffuncall (for load):
