Note that all these problems have been resolved, thanks primarily to
the good work of Matthias Klose.  AFAIK, this makes Debian the first
distro to pass the entire libunwind test-suite:

        $ make check | grep passed
        All 35 tests passed

In fairness, I believe the SuSE and Red Hat betas are not far behind
(I didn't check recently, but AFAIK, they should have all the
necessary patches, too).
