Oh I see the problem then. It is true that the backtracing metadata is forgotten during AOT compilation. It's actually on purpose (to avoid sensitive information to be in the binary), but we should maybe make macrubyc accept -g (like gcc) which would support it. In theory AOT compilation isn't used for development, but I agree that sometimes you might want to do it.
