Volker,
I don't think anybody every seriously pursued libunwind on HP-UX since HP-UX already had a processor-specific unwind API. I just did some basic work to verify that libunwind could work in principle on HP-UX. It's a fair amount of work to properly validate an unwind library on IA-64, so if you can live with a processor-specific API, you might be better off with Unwind or Unwind Express.
Having said that, the IA-64 tests in libunwind are quite extensive and if you could "make check" to pass (mostly) you'd probably be in good shape.
I haven't worked on IA-64 in several years, but I still have an Itanium box, so I might be able to at least help make sure the current libunwind works properly on IA-64 Linux.
