I recently (3.11-1) made linux-tools build-depend on libunwind8-dev, as the perf tool can optionally make use of this library. I didn't notice that libunwind was part of a transition or that it is only available on some architectures. In linux-tools 3.11-2 I added the necessary architecture restriction to this build-dependency, and it has built on most architectures. I also made an NMU of libunwind, currently in DELAYED/3, which fixes the RC bugs on it (one previously opened plus an FTBFS which I opened). I'm not clear on what the status of this transition is now but it seems like there is a problem that libunwind8 is not yet available for ia64. Is it known to be broken? Is this blocking testing transitions? If it would be helpful, I can remove the build-dependency from linux-tools for now.
