Do you mean libunwind-ia64.so.7.0.0?
That one won't be needed by anything related to GCC (or, more
generally, local unwinding). Having said that, the most recent GDBs
have a soft dependency on libunwind-ia64.so: they'll try to dlopen
libunwind-ia64.so and if that doesn't succeed, fall back on
code-reading (which is very unreliable, but better than nothing at
all). Other than GDB, I can't think of any Debian packages that would
currently rely in libunwind-ia64.
