I an unhappy with duplicating code in our sources for the sake of
supporting a competitor for GDB, that being for the sake of MacOS.
Duplicating code leads to extra maintenance work.

As I recall, GNU Emacs does not support MacOS anyway -- there is a
separate, modified version of Emacs for that.  This duplicate code
should go into that modified version.  The maintainers of that
version presumably think it is worth making an effort to
improve MacOS support -- so let them do the work.
