Another data point. Rebuilding python27 with this addition to the
Portfile...
if { ([vercmp ${os.major} 19] >= 0) && ([vercmp $xcodeversion 11.3] < 0) } {
if {[string match clang ${configure.compiler}]} {
configure.cc-append -fno-stack-check
}
}
successfully passes -fno-stack-check to the build but the resulting
python2.7 doesn't suppress the pymol crashes with the QT interface. Maybe
the problem code is in py27-pyqt5?
