 It's got code in it conditionalized for Lion; latest ChangeLog entry is
 from 2013, which was after Mountain Lion, so restricting it to Leopard
 seems to be going a bit too far... Also, there are features in the gdb-
 apple port that never got upstreamed back to the mainline FSF gdb, so
 there are still reasons people might want to use it instead. I tried
 combining them at one point, but only made a mess of things:
