The fake main stuff is fragile, because it will break if the compilation unit 
containing main() does not include the GNUstep headers.  For example, if you 
have a main.c that then calls into some Objective-C stuff later, it won't work.

On FreeBSD, we use kvm to get this, with some slight fudges.  I don't know if 
the same code path works on OpenBSD - you can try it (you may need to enable 
kvm in configure).
