Hi!
Yes, you can help MySQL being better ported to OS X.
You should first learn to use gdb ... ;o)
It is truly not so difficult.
There are also some GUI interfaces for it. I do not know which ones
work on OS X.
Regarding a diff to make it compile, if you have not sent it to us,
please do.
Regarding second and third problem, you should take a deeper look at
OS X signals and try to see what goes on. Signal handling is all done
in mysqld.cc in sql/ subdir.
Regarding failing tests, you should examine the error log.
Regards,
Sinisa
