Hi,
I have been trying for some time to build a working V8 static library
under Mac OS with limited success. I can get it to build, but the
result is unstable.
I have successfully setup depot-tools, added it to my $PATH, fetched
V8 and checked out the desired version (I selected version 8.1.307,
since this is the version that ships with the latest stable Node.js).
If I use the one step build process after gclient sync:
Tools/dev/gm.py x64.release
The result is a build that doesn’t work at all (v8::V8::Initialize()
never returns, program hangs).
If I add use_custom_libcxx to build arguments as suggested by this
related Stack Overflow question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62250913/cross-compiling-v8-for-arm-hello-world-hangs-during-initialize
I get a somewhat usable build with some stability issues.
Specifically, it will crash inside of all error object constructors
(v8::Exception::RangeError, v8::Exception::TypeError etc).
The v8_shell sample application that builds alongside V8 works as it
should, but if I build it myself it crashes after evaluating every
line.
I am new to V8, and the documentation is anything but beginner
friendly. In addition to the embedding guide, I am mostly relying on
the API reference made available by nodesource.com.
I am using the following build args:

is_component_build = false
is_debug = false
target_cpu = "x64"
use_goma = false
goma_dir = "None"
v8_enable_backtrace = true
v8_enable_disassembler = true
v8_enable_object_print = true
v8_enable_verify_heap = true
use_custom_libcxx=false
I am using the default Clang which ships with Xcode:

Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.12)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

I am using the following compiler and linker flags to build the
shell.cc example:
        g++ -O3 -std=c++0x ./shell.cc -I/usr/local/include/v8 -lwee8
-lv8_libbase -lv8_libplatform -pthreads -o v8_shell

A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
