Yes, you are correct. -funwind-tables works as well.

I have simplified the check for -funwind-tables to just look if the
library is compiled with gcc. This option is supported by gcc-2.96
(and probably earlier versions too).

        PR other/54761
        * configure.ac (CFLAGS): Add -funwind-tables when compiling with GCC.
        * configure: Regenerate.

The patch is re-tested on x86_64-linux-gnu and alphaev68-linux-gnu.

OK for mainline?

Uros.

Don't modify CFLAGS, instead you should substitute a new variable that
is added to AM_CFLAGS.  CFLAGS is reserved for the user to override.
