Only for those who didn't already have ld64 installed, and those who cannot get a binary of ld64, right? Since libunwind-headers is only a build dependency of ld64?

I don't remember how long this problem has existed, but it's at least 4 months, which is how long ago I filed the ticket. I finally ran into the problem again recently and decided to "fix" it with this commit. Now at least users will get a clear error message saying how to work around the problem, rather than a confusing build failure.
