On macOS 10.13 and above, the OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY environment variable has to be set to YES to avoid problems with changes to fork() on macOS 10.13+ and Python when running gathersymbols.py. It appears that virtualenvwrapper could be used to create a postactivate and predeactivate script that would set this environment variable for the virtualenv. Another option would be to to change README.md to add instructions that state that the gathersymbols.py script should be run along the lines of:

$ OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES python scrapesymbols/gathersymbols.py -v --all dump_syms

And people.mozilla.org is gone. Also, wget is not installed by default on mac, while curl is.

setup.sh attempts to download the dump_syms binary from https://people.mozilla.org/~tmielczarek/`uname -s`/dump_syms. We should find a new location/URL for this binary, or add instructions to README.md on how to get a hold of this binary.

Host crash-analysis.mozilla.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

is what the host command says about it.

I tried running gathersymbols.py --all on macOS mojave, and after a while, it would stop sucking CPU, and seems to do nothing, while having multiple python processes still running, and Ctrl+C fails to stop it.
