Comment (by cjones051073):

 I support older OSes as far as is practical, by using our own compilers
 etc., but I am not going to start patching the code to work around issues
 like this. Upstream themselves certainly do not support OSes as old as
 10.11 (or older now). I personally don't use anything older than 10.13
 (and that is itself an elderly 2011 mac mini that cannot run anything
 newer and I am likely to retire soon) so I am afraid I have no personal
 interest in these old systems.

 If you really want to retain support on these platforms for the cocoa
 builds, then please go about seeing if upstream will accept patches.

 otherwise, if the X11 variant still works on these platforms, that would
 be my preferred solution on these systems to retain some level of support.
