GLOG (google logging) depends on libunwind. Sometimes libunwind symbols were not found by the linker.

Without the fix

Proposed fix (c9bc0dd) adds the linking flag explicitly.

This commit adds libunwind explicitly to the linking command.

Probably don't make it required

Leaving a more explicit note here: when we enable frame pointers when libunwind is not found, we also need to enable them in our build of gperftools

I think the right thing to do here is redistribute the correct version of libunwind, perhaps with c++11 modifications. But I've had trouble getting libunwind+gperftools to work with Grappa in recent months, and I'm not going to have more time to debug it. You want to take a look sometime? :-)
