You are arguing for a worse UX because of an arbitrary reason. Just link against the code in addr2line. Providing a good UX should always be in scope for a project.

How does one "just link against the code in addr2line" ?

You rename them main symbol to something else then you just call it like any other library.

addr2line is unlikely to be a trivial self-contained program without dependencies.

Then link to those dependencies.

Unnecessary. Most people's hands will be able to type up the required shell one-liner to do this.
