Hi Mike,

I think it’s still possible to fix a modern Mac to use old style gcc, and 
thereby be able to build the 32-bit PicoLisp. I’ve done it once, but nowadays I 
have an old Mac that I use for that purpose. If you like, I can supply the 
binaries; it’s only three small files, as far as I know.

The 64-bit, however, has turned out to be very hard (≈ impossible) to build on 
Mac. Sorry.

I recommend you try Docker. It works very fine. Take a look at these two:
<https://hub.docker.com/r/progit/docker-tinycore-picolisp/>
<https://hub.docker.com/r/progit/pil-enhanced/>

I just tried the ‘docker-tinycore-picolisp’ briefly on a MacBook Air, and it 
worked very well.
