Hi Alex,

txs for preparing Ground for mach-o.
I think this is the right way to go, as these patches in one or the  
other form are needed with tcg, too.

ATM I try to test on a i386 Mac, but I somehow lost track of all  
patches.
I tried a build with qemu 20081018 and gcc patches 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5  
and 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4... it builds, but loads of
/var/folders/Td/TdBadE0bFQuD2AmzgK43q++++TI/-Tmp-//ccIs2Keq.s: 
31549:indirect call without `*'
and the binary segfaults immediately.

Did I miss a patch... or is that where i start to debug? ;)
