When I try to run fastboot on MacOS 10.5.6 I get a "cannot execute
binary file" error message. Has anyone gotten it to work on a Mac?

Unlike what the page says, the fastboot out there is linux-only, we're
trying to get a MacOS binary out asap. In the meantime, I believe that
it can be built from the android source tree.

I just built it on my Mac (10.5.6):

It worked perfectly. But can't guarantee anything.
