There is, however, a complication.  The Darwin loader doesn't really

that the best thing would be if the Darwin loader did handle this, and
it's planned to be implemented (you'll note that the magic words
"implemented now" did not appear in that sentence).


Why hack up the FSF sources for this? Couldn't you just keep this on
your vendor branch?

Could you be more specific about which change I made that you refer to by "this"?
