This is okay, but I thought you also support x86_64?

Suggest to rephrase:

  "Higher values produce more verbose output."

If you agree, please make this change in all the other places you use
a similar phrase.

Do all Darwin developers know what is "mach-o object file processing"?
If not, perhaps a sentence or two of explanations are due.

 "If on, any inferior faults (except single stepping and breakpoint
  traps) will be announced as mach exceptions before being reported to
  the kernel."

To tell the truth, I don't really understand the meaning of the
mach-exceptions option, nor when it will be useful to GDB users.  Can
you explain?
