I am not sure if this is the right place to report as there is no mention of reporting issues in the readme or the book and there is no template for build issues.

Also not sure if I am supposed to be using the latest version or 36.0.0 based on https://docs.wasmtime.dev/stability-release.html#current-versions

error: could not compile `wasmtime` (lib) due to 5 previous errors

According to https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Abytecodealliance%2Fwasmtime%20UnwindToWasm&type=code, UnwindToWasm is available behind gc and indeed adding that feature makes it work but I do not need gc support.
