I noticed that jcea already had some commented out stuff for OS X in his configure.in.

I tried it out and stuff builds and works in a basic way, although it might not be fully functional.

```

124760 python34764 libpython2.7.dylib            PyEval_EvalFrameExReal line
```

So it builds and works at a basic level.

However, I did see some weirdness as well:

```
$ sudo dtrace -n 'python34764::: { printf("%s (%s:%d)", copyinstr(arg1), copyinstr(arg0), arg2) }' | grep test
dtrace: description 'python34764::: ' matched 13 probes
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 4 (ID 124751: python34764:libpython2.7.dylib:collect:gc-start): invalid address (0x2) in action #2 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 124750: python34764:libpython2.7.dylib:collect:gc-done): invalid address (0xfffffffffffffffb) in action #1 at DIF offset 24
```

and

```
~/src/python-hg/cpython-2011$ sudo DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=. dtrace -n 'python*::: { printf("%s (%s:%d)", copyinstr(arg1), copyinstr(arg0), arg2) }' -c 'python2.7 /Users/marca/python/test.py' > /dev/null
dtrace: description 'python*::: ' matched 29 probes
dtrace: pid 34907 has exited
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 20 (ID 126731: python34907:libpython2.7.dylib:collect:gc-start): invalid address (0x2) in action #2 at DIF offset 24

```

On the other hand, some stuff appears to work sometimes:

```
~/src/python-hg/cpython-2011$ sudo DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=. dtrace -n 'python*:::function-entry { printf("%s (%s:%d)", copyinstr(arg1), copyinstr(arg0), arg2) }' -c 'python2.7 /Users/marca/python/test.py'
