Pardon my ignorance, but "--with-system-libunwind" -- does that packages
built with GCC using C++ exception, are linked against libunwind7 and not
libunwind8, and the package needs to be compiled with libunwind8 present?
i.e. libunwind.so -> libunwind.so.8

In other words, is a simple recompile necessary for these packages or is
there more work that needs to be done?
