Comment:

 The  "Skipping invalid GTK-Doc comment block" errors are really warnings
 emitted by g-ir-scanner not gtk-doc in this instance.  They are not fatal
 and only indicate that the scanner is skipping these improperly formatted
 generic comments which are erroneously using markers reserved for gtk-doc
 only.  I see these same warnings in the log of a successful build on
 Mojave.

 The  log file lines that are relevant to this build failure seem to be
 these

 As you can see, the -rpath option is not supported by the version of ld
 supplied by Tiger. The solution is probably to use a newer version of ld
 if one is available or to modify this linker invocation to avoid the use
 of -rpath.  Since I don't have a Tiger machine available to play with I'm
 afraid I can't be much further help.  Reassigning this ticket to @kencu
 since this is really his area of expertise.

 BTW, there's an upstream patch that quiets the gtk-doc error messages.
 I'll gp ahead and apply that to hopefully reduce the noise level in this
 case.
