I have no way of testing any fixes for this!

For a possible solution see #34064

Thanks, I will try if a similar thing works and submit a PR if it does.

Yeah, this works:

platform darwin {
    if {${os.major} < 10} {
        post-patch {
            reinplace   "s:-Xlinker -no_pie::" ${worksrcpath}/configure
        }
    }
}

All tests pass successfully.
