I'm not a lawyer, so I don't have anything to add to this except that 
FatELF has a few fields that Apple's format doesn't, so the flow chart 
they specify isn't the same. I don't really know enough about how 
patents work.

Any lawyers around that can comment on this? Is this something to be 
concerned with (and if so, what sort of changes would make FatELF not 
violate the patent), or is this all just business as usual?
