This is not a good idea. unw_step is not a symbol from the library but only a define. So the check definitely fails.
The problem is: if you configure libunwind with -- enable_cxx_exceptions=no (which is the default on x86, arm, mips), you'll not have these symbols defined.
True - unw_step gets rewritten as _UL${plat}_step (see tests/check-namespace.sh) - but why should it be a problem for writing an autoconf macro as long as you're including the right header file with #define unw_step ...?
