Libbacktrace doesn't release versions in any perceivable way so there's no way to tell which is usable.

If it's too much trouble, then feel free to close this issue.

You could join the choir asking for an official release https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace/issues/73

It seems libbacktrace source is included with gcc releases. By the looks of it, it'll probably be the closest we're gonna get to a versioned release for the foreseeable future.

I actually had a crack at packaging this a few years ago. Take a look at eabbccaa8ddb647e2a732d0733828bb81952b9f3

If there's appetite for it, I'd be happy to put forward a fresh PR.
