The problem can be traced back to a bug in the configure script of libunwind I believe. The issue is described in Julia bug report https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/23615 and upstream here https://github.com/libunwind/libunwind/issues/30. A patch exists here: https://github.com/orivej/nixpkgs/blob/9ccdf60be6bf512918e951ef2cdc75dfd2149442/pkgs/development/libraries/libunwind/version-1.2.1.patch
In the meanwhile, I have prepared a small patch for libunwind configure.ac, which incorporates the fix. Please note that I have followed the the comment of orivej from https://github.com/libunwind/libunwind/issues/30, i.e. I have put ".1" as pkg_extra and not "1", so that mkvers yields "1.2.1". I have also modified libunwind-1.2.1 ebuild, adding an "eautoreconf" inside src_prepare. After re-emerging libunwind, using the patched version, I was able to merge julia 0.6.2 without issues (I had to remove the libunwind blocker from the julia ebuild, of course).
Created attachment 528738 [details, diff] configure.ac patch for libunwind 1.2.1
Created attachment 528740 [details] modified version of the libunwind-1.2.1 ebuild to properly apply the configure.ac (eautoreconf was added to src_prepare).
