[RFC] Darwin port (Part 0)


Hello,

here are a patch to add a new host/target: Darwin (or MacOS X).

Only a minimal set of features has been implemented: x86 and x86_64 only (not ppc),
no support for core files, no support for fat files, no support for dynamic libraries,
no support for stabs (dwarf only).


The mach-o reader can handle dsym files and in object files dwarf - but both need to be improved.

Even all these restrictions I think the port is in good shape enough to be merged. I have made
the minimal changes to common files in order to ease the merge. Some planned changes (particularly
in the mach-o reader) will require modification to some common files and I'd prefer a first merge
before.


Two majors components (machoread.c and macosx-nat.c) have been rewritten from scratch but other
files (mainly i386-macosx-*.?) comes from Apple own branch of gdb. As the Apple branch have never
been formally submitted the copyright status is not clear: I don't know if we can assume they have
been assigned to the FSF. We have tried to contact Apple - but without success. I am ready to rewrite
them in case of issue.


Also, this is my first contribution to gdb. Comments will be very useful to me but please don't be
too harsh :-)


Tristan.
