I switched getting coordinate units from the expanded proj4string representation to GetAttrValue("UNIT", 0), but failed; try

#include <gdal.h>
#include <gdal_priv.h>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
        OGRSpatialReference *srs = new OGRSpatialReference;
        int epsg = 3031;
        srs->importFromEPSG(epsg);
        std::cout << epsg << ":" << srs->GetAttrValue("UNIT",0) << std::endl;
        const char *proj4s = "+proj=eqearth";
        srs->importFromProj4(proj4s);
        const char *u = srs->GetAttrValue("UNIT",0);
        std::cout << proj4s << ":" << (u ? u : "NULL") << std::endl;
        return 0;
}

which gives

3031:metre
+proj=eqearth:NULL

whereas the proj4string expansion of "+proj=eqearth" is "+proj=eqearth +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs", so has the units.

What do I miss here? What is the recommended way to get coordinate units?
