That's exactly the problem I am having.

Hopefully.

The syscall interface/constants should be fixable with directives for
conditional assembly. In fact from memory I've fixed 2-3 of them with
2-3 remaining to be figured out, 1-2 of them don't map to anything at
all apparent to me in the XNU syscall header file so I've got to
figure out what they do and see if there's an synonymous function or
something close.

On OSX - The linking remains the big problem I think. I'll ask some
mac guys and see if they know  the correct form.

Or rather the problem being specifically I do not understand enough :)
It may be perhaps even more correct to say I do not understand how
much I do not understand.

Thanks for your helpful comments - the next few days will be a bit
busy so little work to this end will likely be done, but I'll get back
to you if I get any success on the mach-o building front and see what
you think.
