That would make sense. libstdc++5 calls _Unwind_Resume() which
is/should be implemented by libunwind.so.7. With older versions of
GCC, it was implemented as part of libgcc_eh.a/libgcc_s.so.

The only caveat is that this is needed on ia64 only at the moment.
Eventually, this may become necessary for other platforms, too, though.
