I overlooked the one-line gcc comment in the source file. I understand that
these sorts of things are sometimes brief, but I think this is the tersest
documentation I've ever read. :-) I was looking for more detailed comments in
the changelog, cf. "this file must be compiled separately," or in the man page.
Better still would be automatic compilation and installation on macOS - could
the OP submit a pull request to modify the makefile and man page? If not, I
suppose I have what I need going forward.
