I think that diagnostic is not coming from Emacs; it's coming
from the Boehm conservative garbage collector, which
presumably is in the Darwin runtime library.  I have my
doubts whether Boehm GC will work with Emacs as-is, as Emacs
encodes pointers and this is likely to fool the GC.
Can you build Emacs without the Boehm GC?  That might
fix the problem.
