That's the strategy I've been considering as well.



================
Comment at: libunwind/cmake/config-ix.cmake:20-25
+set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS_ORIG "${CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS}")
+set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS "${CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS} --unwindlib=none")
+check_c_compiler_flag("" LIBUNWIND_SUPPORTS_UNWINDLIB_NONE_FLAG)
+if (NOT LIBUNWIND_SUPPORTS_UNWINDLIB_NONE_FLAG)
+  set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS "${CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS_ORIG}")
+endif()
----------------
You could also use `cmake_push_check_state` and `cmake_pop_check_state` to save and restore the state instead of separate variable, but either way is fine.
