It is a problem with the libunwind version.
Here is the glibc backtrace version on Arm64:

$ /tmp/bt
^\Signal Quit recevied
8: [/tmp/bt(+0x884) [0xab7351d21884]]
7: [/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe4) [0xff4f6b618ce4]]
6: [/tmp/bt(+0xa54) [0xab7351d21a54]]
5: [/lib/libc.so.6(sleep+0x34) [0xff4f6b697304]]
4: [/lib/libc.so.6(nanosleep+0x24) [0xff4f6b69741c]]
3: [linux-vdso.so.1(__kernel_rt_sigreturn+0) [0xff4f6b7905b8]]
2: [/tmp/bt(+0xa28) [0xab7351d21a28]]
1: [/tmp/bt(+0x974) [0xab7351d21974]]
