You didn't mention the gcc version or the OS version.  Both of these is
more relevant than the linux kernel version.

You should not need the libunwind package in order to use gcc.  Gcc
would not have linked against a non-existent library.  If it did, you
would have gotten an error message much earlier.

The likely problem here is that you installed gcc in a directory that
isn't in the standard dynamic linker search path, and thus the dynamic
linker could not find the installed libunwind.so library.  You either
need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to it, or modify /etc/ld.so.conf
and run ldconfig.  Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is simpler.

Building and installing the libunwind package is still useful for other
reasons though, so it does help to do it.

Looks like you have an old obsolete glibc version, which implies that
you have an old obsolete OS version too.  You should consider upgrading
the OS.
