Arno, Uli, zyx, et al

Thanks so much for having the conversation. I'm checking in to see if there
is any progress in the assessment, tweeking and integration of patches
which can fix these issues that have cropped up for OSX Homebrew Package
Manager builds?

Thanks so much for your attention, time and care,

Cheers,
/Kunda
