Comment (by kencu):

 You can get past your error with `-lssp` by specifying the library fully
 in `Make.inc` like this:
 {{{
 OSLIBS += -L/opt/local/lib/gcc7/libssp.dylib
 }}}
 but then it just errors out later with this:
 {{{
     CC src/signal-handling.dbg.obj
 In file included from
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_github
 .com_macports_macports-ports_lang_julia/julia/work/julia-0.6.2/src/signal-
 handling.c:94:
 ./signals-unix.c:39:43: error: expected expression
     return (bt_context_t*)&((ucontext64_t*)sigctx)->uc_mcontext64->__ss;
                                           ^
 }}}
 and more like it.


 I think we will need sean here to sort this out. Step one might be to try
 building it on a current system, which I suspect will fail. Fix that
 first, if possible, and then maybe go back and include the older
 systems...
