For a full toolchain supporting execute-only code generation the runtime 
libraries also need to be pre-compiled with it enabled. For libunwind this can 
now be enabled with the `LIBUNWIND_EXECUTE_ONLY_CODE` CMake option during build 
configuration.

The build option can only be enabled for a runtimes build of libunwind, because 
a recent version of Clang is needed to correctly compile assembly files with 
execute-only code support.

Subject: [PATCH] [libunwind] Add CMake option to enable execute-only code
 generation on AArch64

For a full toolchain supporting execute-only code generation the runtime
libraries also need to be pre-compiled with it enabled. For libunwind
this can now be enabled with the `LIBUNWIND_EXECUTE_ONLY_CODE` CMake
option during build configuration.

The build option can only be enabled for a runtimes build of libunwind,
because a recent version of Clang is needed to correctly compile
