Hi David, that is a remarkable piece of detective work. I have never used OSX myself and therefore do not have any experience developing applications for it, but you have digged up is a rahter nasty feature here.
As for sending patches, you can do that to this list, unless it is a rather large patch. In that case you can send it to one of the developers instead. I agree that option 3b looks the cleanest. It should not be too hard to implement it - the build system has several examples on how to check for specific functions. Something along the lines of TestSignalType.cmake for instance.
