I don’t think libunwind gives you function names if you strip symbols and don’t have debugging information on hand.

Sure. libunwind is taking the place of pclntab here, not the symbol table. Go must also not strip symbols in order to print backtraces; if you want the same thing in C, don't strip the symbol table there either.
