Type make in the directory containing molaccel.S.

Yes and no, it's certainly based on OSX's and Darwin's BootX, but
it's modified a bit.  The issue with MOL's version of BootX is that
it needs to build a static ELF version.  If you know how to do that
in Darwin/OSX, I'd appreciate it, otherwise we'll probably have to
just ship a pre-compiled version with OSX.  Another option would be
to build a MachO loader for MOL.  Unfortunately, I haven't spent any
time on getting things working in OSX since I last committed OSX
fixes. :|

If you need more details, please let me know!
