Hi! I don't own a Darwin system, so I can't help much reproduce. However, I've received a bug report to the Linux man-pages, that our build system (GNUmakefile-based), which ends up calling
... | install /dev/stdin $@
doesn't work on Darwin. Here's the original bug report:
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/300797>.
Here are the reported error messages:
...

I don't see why install(1) should fail to read /dev/stdin under any
POSIX system.
