This is not a good idea. unw_step is not a symbol from the library but only a 
define. So the check definitely fails.

Also this seems not the real problem. If i'm right linking with -lunwind at the 
arm (and only there) results in some missing symbols:

------------------->snip<-------------------
configure:3615: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -ldbus-1  -lunwind  >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/../../../libunwind.so: undefined 
reference to `__aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0'
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/../../../libunwind.so: undefined 
reference to `__aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr1'
------------------->snap<-------------------

Somewhere i read that additionally linking -lgcc_s may fix the problem. But i 
do not really understand the background. Is this really necessary? Just at arm? 
How to reflect this in configure.ac?

PS: Another idea is to link the static libunwind.a library instead. But same 
problem here. How to reflect this in configure.ac and/or Makefile.am?
