My work environment is on an old suse distribution, so it's
difficult to find libunwind-$arch rpm packages, so I build them
from source.

The git repository url is here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/libunwind.git(master)

Then flow the build step in README, first for i686:

  $ ./autogen.sh
  $ ./configure prefix=/xx/dst_i686 --target=i686-oe-linux 
CC=x86_64-oe-linux-gcc
  $ make && make install

Similar for aarch64:

  $ make clean
  $ ./configure prefix=/xx/dst_aarch64 --target=i686-oe-linux 
CC=x86_64-oe-linux-gcc
  $ make && make install

NOTICE: the contents in '--target' should be like
'i686-oe-linux', only give 'i686' cause strange build errors.

It looks like that libunwind don't support building for multiple
platforms at the same time, so I build them separately into
different directories.

Finally, copy the outputs into /usr/include and /usr/lib64, now
perf can detect them:

  $ make VF=1 ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-oe-linux- 
EXTRA_CFLAGS="-m64"
  ...

  ...                 libunwind-x86: [ on  ]
  ...              libunwind-x86_64: [ OFF ]
  ...                 libunwind-arm: [ OFF ]
  ...             libunwind-aarch64: [ on  ]

Thanks.
