2.21.3 build problem on Mac OS X Mojave

[Jacques Menu]

Hello folks,

I’m trying to build LilyPond 2.21.3 locally, both on Debian 9 and Mac OS X 
10.14.6 (Mojave). 
On the latter, I installed Apple’s XCode, the needed tools in /opt with 
MacPorts, and the needed fonts in /opt/local/share/fonts/urw-core35-fonts. 

Performing the same ‘git clone’ and the same steps alongside, I run into a 
situation in which the contents of the build directory is by far different on 
both OSes, see below.

Then ‘make' runs fine on Debian, but fails on Mojave due to a missing 
build/make directory.

That beats me. Can someone explain why ‘../configure’ creates fewer files on 
the Mac OS X side? The trace it produces is at the end of this message.

Thanks for your help!

JM
