Initially there is some chain (let's say the longest one
but that doe snot matter).  Consequently its elements from the middle are
being removed and there remains only some few unambiguous top and bottom ones.

The original idea why the comparison should be sharp ("<") was that if there
are multiple chains like (0xaddr show jmp instruction address):
        main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
        main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
then - such situation cannot exist - if two jmp instructions in "a" have the
same address they must also jump to the same address (*).

(*) jump to a computed address would be never considered for the DWARF
    tail-call records.

So there could be:
        main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
        main(0x100) -> a(0x270) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
But then "a" frame itself is ambiguous and it must not be displayed.

I did not realize that there can be self-tail-call:
        main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
        main(0x100) -> a(0x280) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
which intersects to:
        main(0x100) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And so if the first chain was chosen the
        main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
then the final intersection has callers+callees==length.

> for example, if CALLERS is 3 and

main(0x100) -> x(0x150) -> y(0x200) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)

And if LENGTH is 7 then:
        call_site[0] = main(0x100)
        call_site[1] = x(0x150)
        call_site[2] = y(0x200)
        call_site[3] = garbage
        call_site[4] = garbage
        call_site[5] = a(0x200)
        call_site[6] = d(0x400)
