I find this rather dodgy. It means that every compilation unit that
(indirectly) drags this include file may end-up with an 'unwind_next'
function. At best this will be eliminated at compilation time, but it
may also generate a warning.

Why can't this me made an 'inline' function? At the very least, it
should have a __maybe_unused attribute.

Same thing here.

Thanks,
