Unfortunately you are going to have to have someone who has the requisite experience. Since the OS doesn't provide the primitives I thought it might, that person is going to have to understand the Intel 64-bit ABI, (evidently) DWARF exception handling, Mac OS X's implementation of pthreads, and that's before you can start figuring out how to plug it all into the MacRuby interpreter.

As an "application framework level guy" I know that I certainly don't have the requisite skills. I might be able to build them up, but I imagine would probably take longer than anyone interested in MacRuby cares to wait.

After thinking about it a bit... I guess you wouldn't really care about the Intel ABI so much as some aspect of the LLVM?

Does LLVM already have some mechanism for supporting multiple "stacks" and switching between them?  (rhetorical question... I imagine I can Google the answer myself).
