Motivation for this change
This adds the
tapiexecutable to the libtapi package. Thetapiexecutable can be used to create TBD files, i.e. text-based stubs for macOS dynamic libraries.The main use I have in mind for this is osxfuse (now macFUSE). The osxfuse library in nixpkgs is currently built from source, but this sadly isn't ideal because the library is closely tied to the osxfuse kernel extension which isn't packaged in nixpkgs. Replacing the current osxfuse library with a TBD would make FUSE packages work more reliably by making it link to the osxfuse library that matches its kernel counterpart.
I also did a quick check to see if I could use this copy of the tapi executable to generate darwin-stubs, but that unfortunately didn't seem to work out well. This version of tapi lacks support for "zippered" binaries (whatever that means), so it couldn't generate a TBD for
libSystem.B.dylib.Things done
