Ubuntu, and the build says:

Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ on ]
... dwarf_getlocations: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
... gtk2: [ on ]
... libaudit: [ on ]
... libbfd: [ on ]
... libelf: [ on ]
... libnuma: [ on ]
... numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on ]
... libperl: [ on ]
... libpython: [ on ]
... libslang: [ on ]
... libcrypto: [ on ]
... libunwind: [ on ]
... libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ]
... zlib: [ on ]
... lzma: [ on ]
... get_cpuid: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]

so it's a maximum-features build, right?

Here's the unwind libraries:

triton:~/tip> dpkg -l | grep unwind
ii libunwind-dev 1.1-4.1ubuntu2 amd64 library to determine the call-chain of a program - development
ii libunwind8 1.1-4.1ubuntu2 amd64 library to determine the call-chain of a program - runtime
ii libunwind8-dev 1.1-4.1ubuntu2 amd64 library to determine the call-chain of a program - development

libunwind-dev is installed it appears.

Let me know if you want me to run other tests.

Thanks,

Ingo
