Thanks for the data point! obj was clean, I had just deleted it before starting the build.

However, I found the solution now: I (used to) have a Homebrew for amd64 in /usr/local, which was put there as part of the Apple Game Porting toolkit. This has been the cause of other build failures in the past, since a lot of configure scripts are hard-wired to prefer Homebrew over anything you pass in :(

Deleting the Homebrew installation in /usr/local makes the build succeed.
