On many modern terminals, Backspace and Ctrl+Backspace send different key codes (often ^?/0x7f and ^H/0x08 respectively) so that these two codes can be mapped to backspace and backward-kill-word. MYSYS Bash converts both of these to the same key code (^?/0x7f), so there is no way to map them to different functions. Alt+Backspace (sending ESC-^?/0x27f), can be used for backward-kill-word currently, but that is a different key combination than is standard in modern text entry across many platforms.
