That works for me as a short term thing (say to get it cross-building on
MacOS for our next release if the problem isn't fixed by then) - I did
take the simple way and just remove it from all cases since the info it
prints isn't overly useful.

I'm still rather curious to see if there's both a proper and (even
relatively) clean fix to the original problem.
