gobject-introspection-0.6.10 build fails. Looks like its internals
only know how to use ldd (the linux/ELF dynamic-link scanner) not
otool (darwin's moral equivalent). The ability to read library linking
information seems pretty important for an introspection tool, so this
may be hopeless on OS X for now. Here's the upstream bug:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606686

The action seems to be in giscanner/shlibs.py, where a parser needs to
be created for the output of 'otool -L'. Anyone's help welcome here...
