Hotspot intentionally causes a SEGV on startup of the VM in it's x86 CPU detection logic.
This is annoying on iOS since it requires the developer to configure Xcode to pass this signal on
whenever a new application is being run/developed by typing in "process handle -s false SIGSEGV"
to the Xcode command window.
The benefit in performance when running an application with more advanced x86 CPU features on the
iOS simulator does not justify this extra overhead.
This bug will be used to push a change that disables this SEGV for IPHONE builds.
