I am pretty sure, that these issues are not the reason, as it works on 
the Mac of one of my users with my old code base, but not with the new 
one. Investigating the generated code, I recognized that the old tarball 
was generated with autoconf 2.69, the new one with 2.71.

As I explained, I don't think this is the reason, more a autoconf 
regression. I would love to test your patch, but this sounds like a 
mayor headache doing so on a CI runner.

Kind regards,
Christoph
