@compnerd: Does the remote unwinding stuff even build? I don't see a 
declaration for `template <typename T> class Pointer32;`, nor for `class 
LittleEndian;`... 

Either way, I think @ed is right here: no matter the pointer size of the target 
process, if we link against `dl_iterate_phdr()`, we have to use the pointer 
size for *this* process, not the pointer size for the *other* process. This 
will work unless the ElfW's are used in the interface between 
`LocalAddressSpace` and `OtherAddressSpace<Foo>`.
