Hi all, is there a reasonably easy way to programmatically determine whether a particular executable on-disk supports garbage collection? Cocoa methods aren't necessary; all C functions are welcome. Poking around in an executable's Mach-O headers is fine too, but I'm not sure what to look for.

My usage scenario is that we're intending to ship an experimental GC version of our app to some customers, but we have a lot of plugins for our app, and they won't work under the GC version unless they're compiled GC-supported. I'd like to display a sheet in the regular, non-GC version of the app that tells the user which plugins aren't GC- supported, so I can't simply attempt to preflight the bundle and see if that fails, since the preflight check would be running on the non- GC version. Any hints?

Thanks!
