I've installed Debian Sid just to reproduce it.

It seems the issue is caused by mismatch between __sigsetjmp() prototypes
in <setjmp.h> and <pthread.h> system headers.  So, changing their order
in Unit includes resolved the issue for me:

But that doesn't look like a Unit issue, it just indicates broken toolchain
in Debian Sid.  So, I wouldn't recommend using unstable distribution for
development, as you will end up spending time on fighting various strange
and unrelated issues with the system rather than with the project.

Personally I prefer to use Gentoo.  It allows good balance between stability
and cutting edge.
