Hello Luca,

Thank you for the very quick reply!

Since my build-environment is a bit complicated (homebrew injecting
current versions of flex/bison/...), I've first tried to reproduce the
original issue using master (ec3ea52f0dceca9d8c525424ef70093095bf95a7)
and the instructions above, with success (i.e. the build fails).

For the niobos branch (d43116ba9a39d093fd7b3c60ebda33939372a11c), it
works a bit better:

the build (`make`) succeeds, but the testsuite (`make check`) fails.
What is strange is that the testsuite fails in several different ways:

The first `make check` fails to compile.
The second time, it takes a looong time (over 7 minutes on my 8-core
2.3GHz i9 machine), and gets to the actual tests, with 0 PASSes.
A third run is faster, and gives the same test results (all failures/skips)
Output of all three runs attached.

I'd gladly run more tests for you, but do let me know if I can
contribute in a more meaningful way.

Thank you again for your efforts,
Niobos
