Hi Daniel,
looks good. Small remarks below. I leave it up to you if you take my suggestions.
Cheers, Thomas

We use dladdr() in several places in this code. I wonder whether it would make sense to fix all of those with a wrapper instead:
static int my_dladdr(const void* addr, Dl_info* info) {
if (addr != (void*)-1) {
return dladdr(addr, info);
} else {
// add comment here
return 0;
}
}
#define dladdr my_dladdr

Small nit, it seems confusing to have a Mac-specific comment in the BSD section.
Maybe this would be better in MachDecoder? E.g. implement the 6-arg version of decode() but stubbed out returning false, and with your comment there.
