That's a good question.  My notion of what "system" usually means is the
same.  I have not picked apart the rust build system in order to figure
out what it means to rust, but for whatever reason, it fails to find the
pkgsrc libunwind when enabled (at least on Linux).  I'll update the
comment before committing the workaround to better reflect this.  Maybe
there's a better solution to be found, but the package is broken on
Linux right now, so I wouldn't want to delay some sort of fix much longer.
