Ubuntu, and the build says:

Auto-detecting system features:
...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
...            dwarf_getlocations: [ on  ]
...                         glibc: [ on  ]
...                          gtk2: [ on  ]
...                      libaudit: [ on  ]
...                        libbfd: [ on  ]
...                        libelf: [ on  ]
...                       libnuma: [ on  ]
...        numa_num_possible_cpus: [ on  ]
...                       libperl: [ on  ]
...                     libpython: [ on  ]
...                      libslang: [ on  ]
...                     libcrypto: [ on  ]
...                     libunwind: [ on  ]
...            libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on  ]
...                          zlib: [ on  ]
...                          lzma: [ on  ]
...                     get_cpuid: [ on  ]
...                           bpf: [ on  ]

so it's a maximum-features build, right?

Here's the unwind libraries:

triton:~/tip> dpkg -l | grep unwind
ii  libunwind-dev                                        1.1-4.1ubuntu2                                       amd64        library to determine the call-chain of a program - development
ii  libunwind8                                           1.1-4.1ubuntu2                                       amd64        library to determine the call-chain of a program - runtime
ii  libunwind8-dev                                       1.1-4.1ubuntu2                                       amd64        library to determine the call-chain of a program - development

libunwind-dev is installed it appears.

Let me know if you want me to run other tests.

Thanks,
