No, that sounds fine to me.  The part that I don't understand is that
at the moment it seems that only one libunwind-$TARGET.so can be
loaded.  With a multi-target-capable gdb, that would obviously not be
sufficient, as you'd want to load, say, libunwind-ia64.so.1 for ia64
and libunwind-x86.so.1 for x86.  But it's mostly a theoretical issue
at this point.

Thanks,
