Title:
  bundled libunwind is used

Status in dotnet7 package in Ubuntu:

Status in dotnet8 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  It seems to me that dotnet7 and dotnet8 packages do not use the system
  libunwind library.

  Note that only 6.0.27/libcoreclr.so list the following:

      libunwind.so.8 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunwind.so.8 (0x00007c022f3c6000)

  The build logs also indicate to me that the bundled version is used.

  [ Other ]

  * dotnet6 lists "libunwind-dev [amd64]" as Build-Depends, but the
  dotnet7 and dotnet8 packages list "libunwind-dev", (without the
  "[amd64]")

  * dotnet6 had a patch remove-libunwind-build.patch which is not
  present in dotnet7/dotnet8. This patch disabled the bundled libunwind
  build for non-arm64 architectures to use the system library. The patch
  needs to be adapted for .NET 7 & 8, because the project structure has
  changed and the patch does not apply cleanly. Additionally we now
  build .NET 8 for s390x and plan to build for ppc64el. So we have to
  look into how this could work for that platform.

  * A possible solution could be patching
  src/runtime/src/coreclr/pal/src/CMakeLists.txt to set
  CLR_CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_LIBUNWIND
