Comment(by gwright):
Now I know what the bug is: relocations of type `X86_64_RELOC_GOT` and
`X86_64_RELOC_GOT_LOAD` are not handled by the Mach-O linker. There is a
stub of code for these cases, but it does something nonsensical. I'm
guessing it was simply never finished.
This doesn't seem too hard to fix, but it's fiddly. If I'm lucky and my
current hunch works, maybe a patch in a couple of days. Otherwise, I'll
need to try to understand Apple's ld64 code to understand these
relocations in more detail.
