Comment (by sean@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 larryv@…]:
 > We really //really// should not provide a variant for such an arcane
 detail. We should [[ticket:48168 |update to 1.8.6]] and then evaluate
 whether the flat namespace workaround is still necessary.

 I doubt those original bugs will be fixed with an upgrade because they
 both are (seemingly) working around Fortran problems. I honestly don't
 know what to do since Apple is so anti-Fortran. To be fair, nobody should
 use Fortran but this is our current situation.
