Contributions summary:Gustavo primarily focused on improving the codebase's compatibility and build process. They addressed compiler issues related to GLIBC versions by conditionally including the `psiginfo()` function and replaced alternative boolean operators to ensure compatibility with older compilers like Visual Studio 2010. Furthermore, they enhanced the project's build system by adding support for `find_package(Backward)` in CMake and improved the handling of include directories, preventing potential issues with CMake variable accumulation.
