Description

Final executables fail because of libunwind:

./block_expr1.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libunwind.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Building with --with-system-libunwind fixes the issue.

Research direction

Reproduce the ia64 build and run of block_expr1.exe, first comparing the default configuration with --with-system-libunwind. Trace which build or runtime dependency leaves libunwind.so.7 unavailable, then verify that the final executable starts without requiring the workaround.
