I'll double check but I believe that the testsuite always links the
libgcc_s.10.5.dylib built by the FSF gcc build. The problem with the
emutls symbols if I recall correctly is that those are not exposed
through libgcc_s.10.5 but rather libgcc_s directly. For now, it would
be better to ignore the emults issues and focus on what needs to be
done to fix the unwinding. I guess you are saying we need to move
the unwinders symbols out into a libgcc_ext and use that in the
linkage on 10.6 or later so the FSF unwinder is used instead of 
the system one?
