That was it! Thank you Gonzalo; indeed, it helps a lot. And your workaround is fine, since we don't support the -i option, Even if we did, the default names for as, ld and ar are correct whenever the command line tools are installed. So that block of code is completely irrelevant for the macOS platform. This solves the problem.
