Failed building vax on MaxOSX

[Anders Magnusson <ragge%tethuvudet.se@localhost>]

Hi,

This is:
Darwin Mac 25.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 25.4.0: Thu Mar 19 19:33:25 PDT 
2026; root:xnu-12377.101.15~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T6041 arm64

I just checked out the source tree, and did a
% ./build.sh -U -u -m vax build

But; it fails later in build-rtl;

.... and a bunch of other errors thereafter.

So, as not knowing anything about how gcc works, can anyone give a hint 
about how to find what may be erroneous? :-)
