Is this well defined across all compilers if the plugin is off?
This seems to compile with gcc at least but 0 sized structs
make me a little uneasy.

The issue isn't on_thread_stack, it's current_top_of_stack which isn't
defined on arm64. I agree it would be good if the code would be common
but I'm not sure how much we want to start trying to force APIs.

This was based on the earlier version of x86. I'll confess to
not seeing how the current x86 version ended up with get_stack_info
but I suspect it's either related to ORC unwinding or it's best
practice.
