 Hmm…

 Ok, it's deprecated…

 …that shouldn't mean it's unavailable though. Then again, trying to use
 anything from Carbon is pretty suspect at this point.

 I see this interesting bit in the Portfile however that looks like it was
 intended to deal with this issue but I guess is no longer sufficient:

 {{{#!tcl
 if {${os.platform} eq "darwin" && ${os.major} < 13} {
     # _AbsoluteToNanoseconds
     configure.ldflags-append \
                     -framework CoreServices
 }
 }}}
