Pulled, thanks a lot Arnaldo!

Btw., the build output looks weird now - on a system that used to pass 
all feature tests there's this output:

  BUILD:   Doing 'make -j12' parallel build
config/Makefile:288: No libdw DWARF unwind found, Please install 
elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.158 and/or set LIBDW_DIR

Auto-detecting system features:
...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
...                         glibc: [ on  ]
...                          gtk2: [ on  ]
...                      libaudit: [ on  ]
...                        libbfd: [ on  ]
...                        libelf: [ on  ]
...                       libnuma: [ on  ]
...                       libperl: [ on  ]
...                     libpython: [ on  ]
...                      libslang: [ on  ]
...                     libunwind: [ on  ]
...            libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ OFF ]
...     DWARF post unwind library: libunwind

but:

   Package elfutils-devel-0.156-5.fc19.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Also, the information content of this line is unclear to me:

...     DWARF post unwind library: libunwind


what does that line want to tell?

Thanks,

	Ingo
