Hi Mike,

this page: 
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/doc/html/stacktrace/configuration_and_build.html 
says that the dbgeng library can only extract symbolic information from 
64-bit MinGW executables. It looks like you need to use the 3rd-party 
libbacktrace library with 32-bit MinGW executables to capture that 
information.
