(on macOS, the ld warning about -bind_at_load is normal)
This looks to be an issue where glibc is not available (HAVE_LIBC is not
defined). Looking at the code, there's no function definition
for Quad_RVAL::eval_B() in src/Qual_RVAL.cc <http://qual_rval.cc/> if HAVE_LIBC
is not defined (#else at line 657).
This diff looks to have fixed it for me for macOS. I get a clean compilation
and link, and ⎕RVAL generates a syntax error if I try to use it
along with the explanation that this is not available on my platform).
