...and it's crashing due to what appears to be a low-level support library 
issue (as in "GCC support library") that has something to do with changes 
between 10.6 and 10.7.  I've put a long discussion in as the answer, and asked 
the person to file a bug.  I haven't figured out what needs to be done 
differently in the build procedure - or the procedure for building the support 
libraries on macOS - to fix it.
