Now I'm confused.  I thought that after running into the libunwind
build-failures, you decided to replace the GCC-based libunwind with
the one from the libunwind package.  I just checked and with the
current packaging, I'm still getting failures during the libunwind
build.

For example:

 :
gcc -g -O -fexceptions -Wall -Wsign-compare -o .libs/Lperf-simple Lperf-simple.o  ../src/.libs/libunwind-ia64.so
Gperf-simple.o(.text+0x32): In functionLperf-simple.o(.text+0x32): In function `measure_unwind':
../../libunwind/tests/Gperf-simple.c:64: undefined reference to `_Uia64_getcontext'
 :

Did you fix this issue in some other way?
