Comment (by kcrisman):

 I don't see why one couldn't just do the usual thing we do in `spkg-
 install` for unusual systems - just a check for Darwin with version 8 or 9
 or something.  Or even check for m4's existence and version (can this be
 done easily?).  In either case, just don't do
 {{{
 -    --enable-interfaces=c++ --disable-fpmath
 +    --enable-interfaces="c++ c" --disable-fpmath
 }}}
 for that specific situation, maybe echoing a message.  Then #12666 can
 raise an error message if one doesn't have the correct header, saying
 "please get a system with a recent enough m4, do `sage -i ppl`, and then
 reinstall this optional spkg".
