Re: [Libunwind-devel] libunwind-ptrace compiled only as a static library

[Arun Sharma]

This change seems to be from Jan 2004.

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libunwind.git;a=commitdiff;h=165666394199966e7fbdd1a68bf5aa032a79b7f0

I'm not aware of any reason why libunwind-ptrace shouldn't be a .so.
Please try the attached patch (and rerun automake).
