There's a libunwind on HP-UX that's part of the system, but it doesn't have a libunwind-ia64 component. The libunwind-ia64 shared object is an implementation detail of David Mosberger's library. Since we're talking about libunwind-ia64, I can only assume that we're talking about David's library. That library is not always available in the general case. Still, I think it's good to be able to link against libunwind. It really should be present on any ia64 system, irrespective of the OS. -- Marcel Moolenaar marcel@cup.hp.com
