Well, I don't care a *huge* amount about non-free OSes, but the
current libunwind does build and work on HP-UX and I'd hate to see
that go away.  I find it very useful to occasionally compile with
different OS/compiler-combos to find portability-issues.

Also, the -nostdlib stuff is only needed when building libunwind as a
system-library.  libunwind can be (and is being) cross-compiled for
"remote" unwinding so preserving portability there is desirable, IMO.
