 Looks like it is either a bug in CMake 3.28 itself, or a result of legacy-
 support-devel mess in a course of testing.

 Because with everything else identical, CMake 3.27 builds `c-ares` fine.
 CMake 3.28 fails. Moreover, old version of `c-ares` fails with it
 identically, which I have installed on the same system (so it has been
 proven to build).

 I also got same weird errors with `libical` now, where build uses `gcc13`
 (unlike `c-ares` which uses gcc-4.2).

 We can rule out toolchain issues or SDK bugs. I will need to either
 rebuild a bunch of stuff with, possibly, several versions of `legacy-
 support`, or just test on another machine, where, I hope, I kept an older
 legacy-support, but where I do have every CMake to switch between.

 P. S. Cannot test on 10.5 now, I nuked libgcc there when trying to force a
 non-universal ppc64 build. :)
 That issue is fixed by the way. But I need to build the toolchain anew
 there.
