When do configure, it fails with:

| checking for ELF helper width... configure: error: Unknown ELF target: 
aarch64

It could be fixed by patching configure.ac:

--- configure.ac.orig   2014-09-23 13:30:23.415975656 +0800
+++ configure.ac        2014-09-23 13:30:47.991976326 +0800
@@ -137,7 +137,7 @@
  AC_MSG_CHECKING([for ELF helper width])
  case "${target_arch}" in
  (arm|hppa|ppc32|x86|sh) use_elf32=yes; AC_MSG_RESULT([32]);;
-(ia64|ppc64|x86_64)    use_elf64=yes; AC_MSG_RESULT([64]);;
+(aarch64|ia64|ppc64|x86_64)    use_elf64=yes; AC_MSG_RESULT([64]);;
  (mips)                 use_elfxx=yes; AC_MSG_RESULT([xx]);;
  *)                     AC_MSG_ERROR([Unknown ELF target: ${target_arch}])
  esac

And then it fails with do compile either:

| ../include/libunwind.h:25:3: error: #error "Unsupported arch"

In include/libunwind.h.in, it checks arch and include header accordingly.
For aarch64, it lacks arch check and header file libunwind-arm64.h or 
libunwind-aarch64.h.

Thanks,
Kai
