<div>MachO/DWARF (working on ELF right now). Currently not much use as it doesn't seem to be looking at the</div><div>debug information that were just added (I can see them via `image dump sections` and I can set breakpoints</div>
<div>correctly though, so that's a plus). For DWARF, there's a few changes for upstream LLVM needed. I'll put them</div><div>up if anybody's interested, otherwise, I'll just keep chugging along and wait until I have more complete patch.</div>

Right now there would only be one JITLoader type for the GDB interface.<br>
<br>The patch could probably be fixed up as-is as a first step (leaving the JIT loading bits as a growth on the DynamicLoaderPOSIXDYLD) and we could move it out into its own plugin type once that's working. I should have time this coming week to get this working but if you'll also have time then I'm happy to leave it with you.<br>
