I'm not sure I fully understand this.  Are you saying that the runtime
and link time addresses are different?  How is the runtime address
determined?  It is done using a linker script, or are the instructions
moved around dynamically at runtime?

__builtin_extract_return_addr is for very special purpose uses like
removing the Thumb bit from an ARM address.  It's expanded internally by
the compiler--there is no actual source code for it.  It's not intended
to help with this kind of issue.
