iOS simulator GC issues

[lynaghk]

I tried modifying the run/ios/bootstrap script to compile the Boehm GC for i386 so it can be used with the iPhone/iPad simulator, but it looks like Boehm itself relies on a depreciated API call to _dyld_bind_fully_image_containing_address.
This blows up at runtime in the latest iOS simulator.
The issue is still unresolved upstream:

(This isn't so much an explicit request for anything as much as a note to @aking and others who might give this a shot.)

Thanks for the info!

I spent an hour or so trying to get boehm gc to work with the iOS Simulator (i386 based), but no luck. I can get past this API call (using similar defines in gcconfig.h that are used for iOS), but it always crashes with an infinite loop busting the stack in GC_clear_stack_inner() - so I'll leave it for now and stick with on device testing. Sorry :/
