Our binary distributions won't be built with libdw support

Ahhh, yes, it seems like neither the source nor binary distribution configure scripts actually check for the libdw version. Thanks for noticing this! I've opened #11820 to track this and D2103 with what I believe is a fix.

Good to know I'll be able to use 8.0.1 on my Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. Thanks! -- Andrés
