[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit v4 3/4] OSX: Disable unreliable assertion for external frame unwinding.

[Maksim Kokryashkin]

From: Mike Pall <mike>

(cherry-picked from commit be251d9149b386ca0d4b51106be14366c5dbdf14)

`_Unwind_Find_FDE()` will locate the FDE if the pc is in some
function that has an associated FDE. Note, Mac OS X 10.6 and
later, introduces "compact unwind info" which the runtime uses in
preference to DWARF unwind info. This function will only work if
the target function has an FDE but no compact unwind info.
The LuaJIT VM produces compact unwind info entries, so
DWARF's FDE is not found and that assertion fails.

Maxim Kokryashkin:
* added the description for the problem
