Fix for dropped Mac OS X 10.5

The attached path fixes the dropped Mac OS X 10.5 support as far as I can see.

I don't think the changes to machobj.c are necessary. Did you try it without them?

Yes I tried, it doesn't work, bus error.

If I build the compiler with this patch on 10.5 and build a binary on 10.5 it runs on 10.5 and 10.6. If I use the same compiler and build a binary on 10.6 it runs on 10.6 but not on 10.5. Maybe not perfect but at least it's better.

I installed the 10.4 sdk from the OSX 10.6 sdk. Unfortunately, now the .4u sdk seems to be missing stdarg.h (it was there with 10.5's version of the .4u sdk). I changed it to the .5 sdk, and now it builds.

Why do we check for the OS version to workaround linker bugs? If there really is no other way we should at least check the linker/gcc-toolchain version.

If I understood the changes correctly then the "10.6" linker segfaults when
linking empty segments, right?
What's the issue with 10.5?

>If I use the same compiler and build a binary on 10.6 it
runs on 10.6 but not on 10.5. Maybe not perfect but at least it's better.

What has happened here?

Isn't all of this completely unnecessary now that we use onAddImage/getSection?

How would you do that during runtime?

Yes, I think so. The changes to fix 10.6 broke the 10.5 support. I just added back the code that worked in 10.5, depending on what version the compiler is running.

I don't know, maybe.

On OSX 10.5.2 the XCode3.0 linker (ld64-77) still crashes when handling
debug_line sections with an empty line table because it calculates the wrong
minimal section length.
This bug is still present on ld64-134.9 but they "fixed" the symptom by adding
a NULL check in ld64-87.
