I can only agree -- sadly.

I believe Axiom.build-improvements has been reported many times to
build on Mac.  FriCAS, based on Axiom.wh-sandbox, which in turn is
based on Axiom.build-improvements is known to build on Mac.  I had a
report yesterday that OpenAxiom can be successfully built on Mac as
well.

Thanks for the feedback.
