There's a naming bug IMHO in the documentation at http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Conceptual/KEXTConcept/KEXTConceptDebugger/hello_debugger.html
The documentation is using "Target machine" and "Development
machine" in almost all the document. But in the "Create a Symbol
File" chapter, it's using "Host machine".
This is a source of confusion.
Which one is supposed to be the host: the target or the development
machine?
It's even more confusing to Frenchies as a host in French can be the
person who receives or is received.
Symbol files are created via the kextload command and must specify the
load address of the KEXT, which is only known after it is loaded into
a kernel.
Consider the case where you are developing on a PPC machine,
targetting an x86 machine, because you intend to do two machine
debugging of the x86 machine.
Maybe you are doing this because these are the only two machines you
have.
