OK, you are right, I thought it is good enough but I agree it is not.

The libunwind interface in GDB (libunwind-frame.c) is not ia64 specific in any
way.  And while you can have libunwind-ia64.so, libunwind-x86_64.so and others
installed in parallel libunwind-frame.c has only one instance in GDB and can
load only one of these.

Also the architecture of libunwind is not directly mapped from configure
architectures.  For example libunwind has x86, GDB has i386.


Maybe Tristan could prepare a better patch?
