What we currently do is:

- for static builds, there is a special symbol

- for dynamic builds, we ask our dynamic loader to find the unwind section for a
given load module (from the IP)


This is invoked by the (low level) unwind library for the target system, which
uses a private interface to dld. We discussed it during the meetings, and it
seemed OK to have this private interface under the hood.
