However in the past when I submitted patches for areas outside of the darwin specific source files, they were rejected*if* they made the code too darwin-centric.
Well, in this case I gave you a suggestion, so it was implicit that I'd have approved that patch, no?
In this case, I am attempting to deal with the general case if objdump not being present. Don't other hosts (AIX?) lack objdump in their default configuration? I explicitly avoided using darwin-specific tools to implement the fall-back when objdump is absent so that other hosts lacking objdump could benefit as well.
I'm not sure if "nm -g" would work under Linux, since $ nm -g /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so nm: /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so: no symbols $ objdump -T /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so|head -5 /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so: file format elf64-x86-64 DYNAMIC SYMBOL TABLE: 00000037aca081b8 l d .init 0000000000000000 .init So I prefer to have this only on Darwin for now.
