+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: search for dladdr only on libunwind
+
+The original configure.ac tries to check for dladdr, but it actually needs
+it only in case we have libunwind (which has a another section and checks for it
+too).
+This can fail the build on systems without dynamic linking support.
+Therefore, the dladdr check has to be performed only when checking libunwind.
