I just figured out that I can install MacPorts' "coreutils" package, which provides the GNU version of "mktemp". Furthermore, by using MacPorts' "legacy-support" package, the missing "readlinkat" system call will be provided. (I will need to learn how to use this package.) Therefore no more blocking issues on supporting GCL 2.7 in earlier macOS versions. You don't need to do anything here. In general, I think it's totally reasonable for GCL to depend on some other GNU tooling packages (on macOS), including GCC (if necessary). --Chun
