<p>For Intel-based Macs, MLton targets the <a href="RunningOnAMD64">AMD64

targets the <a href="RunningOnX86">x86 architecture</a> on Darwin 8 (Mac OS X

<p>Executables that save and load worlds on Darwin 11 (Mac OS X Lion)
and higher should be compiled with <code>-link-opt -fno-PIE</code> ; see

<p><a href="ProfilingTime">ProfilingTime</a> may give inaccurate results on multi-processor
machines.  The <code>SIGPROF</code> signal, used to sample the profiled program,
is supposed to be delivered 100 times a second (i.e., at 10000us
intervals), but there can be delays of over 1 minute between the
delivery of consecutive <code>SIGPROF</code> signals.  A more complete
