Description
goblin cannot find the interpreter of a stripped binary, and `imports()` returns empty vector. However, `nm -um` could still list the undefined symbol of the binary, and the corresponding depend dylibs.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a stripped Mach-O binary and compare goblin's empty imports() result with nm -um, which lists the undefined symbol and dependent dylibs. Done means goblin can identify the interpreter and return the relevant undefined symbols and dependent dylibs for stripped binaries.
