Comment (by RJVB):

 In my experience it's near impossible to build the bundles from that site
 because at the least the assume you have Apple's build environment set up.
 But who knows, maybe that framework is different ... the whole security
 (keychain) functionality has not seen much (if any) evolution at all for
 years.
 (not in functionality either, which is probably why Google Chrome stopped
 using it and definitely is the reason why I didn't bother adapting my
 backend for the KDE5 version of KWallet.)

 Has any attempt ever been made to upstream this patch, to your knowledge?
 IMHO Apple should have done that themselves, so I would find it amusing if
 they find they have to work around upstreamed functionality (that's
 compatible with older OS versions) for some future release O:-)

 > that WILL change parameters (from -m/-M to -A/-K)
 I must have been using an older version then, because I'm used to the
 -A/-K flags.
