Objconv is the specific fail point:

we should have rehosted that download. this should be reproducible with the simple steps at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/deps/objconv.mk ?

[swadey]

yes, I think that's right. If I run make -C deps compile-objconv

[tkelman]

Oh evidently it hasn't changed since January if the "last modified" information at http://agner.org/optimize/#objconv is accurate. Can someone with an upgraded mac (or VM thereof) report this to the author so he's aware of the issue? He's apparently @AgnerF on github but not sure if he'd mind being pinged here.

[tkelman]

Or, anyone know if LLVM has implemented a symbol-renaming utility for static libraries on Darwin yet? binutils objcopy hasn't grown mach-o support since we did #8734, has it? Can Keno's object file Julia packages do this (would be a bit of a bootstrapping issue there)?

Please update if this is still a problem.
