Things are moving quite quickly, this is very satisfying. The next step
is BSD system call support. This could be quite long, there are many
system calls in Darwin.
Done:
- Mach-O binaries suport
- mach traps support on i386 and powerpc
- enough support for in native gdb to trace mach-O bins
- reverse engineering mach traps
- implement required mach traps on powerpc
- accurate stack layout on startup
- create COMPAT_DARWIN
In progress:
- BSD system call support
- finish required mach traps on i386
To do:
fix kdump to correctly display mach traps
cleanup sys/compat/mach to remove COMPAT_DARWIN specificities
signal handling
things we don't suspect yet (multithreading?)
