Ok. Should I pull the patch from
id:1399402716-13714-1-git-send-email-cceleri at cs.stanford.edu into this
patch series?

I can install GNU objdump on OS/X, but the problem seems to be that
objdump changes its output depending on the object file format (see -t
option documentation in objdump(1)). What does the output of nm look
like for you? Is really that different? Here is what my objdump output
looks like:

    $ objdump -t lib/*.o | sed -n '/\[\.text\] __\?notmuch/p' | tail
    00000000000009a0 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_authors
    0000000000000990 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_matched_messages
    0000000000000960 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_messages
    00000000000009d0 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_newest_date
    00000000000009c0 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_oldest_date
    00000000000009b0 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_subject
    00000000000009e0 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_tags
    0000000000000970 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_thread_id
    0000000000000950 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_toplevel_messages
    0000000000000980 g       0f SECT   01 0000 [.text] _notmuch_thread_get_total_messages

I suppose we could just account for the difference in output of objdump
on OS/X, but I was hoping that the output of nm would be more consistent
since its a simpler program.
