This is a source of confusion. Let's take your example: The target machine is a x86. The development machine is a PPC. Now, I introduce the "host machine". Which one is it? The x86 or PPC?

But in the "Create a Symbol File" chapter, it's using "Host machine". 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. The issue is not with the command line. It's that it would be better to keep on using the same name for the machines. In my case, I had 2 x86 Macs so I used the development machine for this section of the instructions and was able to debug remotely (and it works really well).
