Comment (by carter):

 Ben: you mean the base being too big for macho object format?

 I agree it’s a problem.

 I’m confused though : do you mean unwind the stack using the stack walker
 that only supports ELF FORMATS only at the moment. Or do you mean gdb /
 lldb being informative for debugging in general? OS X doesn’t get the
 stack walker at the moment anyways , so that’s only a forward looking
 issue afaict ;)
