He Kuang,
could you please give me details on how to enable x86 remote unwind
on x86_64 server? can't find that in the libunwind's ./configure script

the feature tool detection example needs libunwind-x86.h header
and -lunwind-x86..  which is provided by libunwind-devel.i686 pkg,
but it conflicts with x86_64 libunwind-devel on fedora:

Error: Transaction check error:
  file /usr/include/libunwind.h from install of libunwind-devel-1.2-1.fc25.i686 conflicts with file from package libunwind-devel-1.2-1.fc25.x86_64
