1) _dyld_register_func_for_add_image should be taken care of with the above two fixes
You still cannot unregister the callback, so it can't be used for dynamically loading druntime. Last time we talked about this problem, we found some undocumented function that could be deregistered.
2) __attribute__((constructor/destructor)) can be added to druntime when building for osx like in the file dylib_fixes.c [1]
For linux we let the compiler emit comdat constructors into every D object, so you'll end up with exactly a single function for any binary containing D code. I don't think you need ctors/dtors on OSX if you already have the dylib callback.
3) copy paste rt_init/rt_term, rename them to dylib_init/dylib_term and remove everything except whats needed to initialize a shared lib's image.
Not sure what you want to copy, but for sure you need to extend sections_osx to handle multiple dylibs. It should be very similar to _d_dso_registry for ELF, except that you iterate over the sections of a dylib image to get EH tables and ModuleInfo.
