RocksDBJNI 5.18.4 fails with missing symbol on MacOS 10.13.6

[vcrfxia]

Expected behavior

Upgrading RocksDB JNI from 5.18.3 to 5.18.4 should succeed on MacOS 10.13.6.

Actual behavior

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ____chkstk_darwin
  Referenced from: /private/var/folders/y4/v3q4tgb559sb0x6kwpll19bm0000gn/T/librocksdbjni4028367213086899694.jnilib (which was built for Mac OS X 10.15)
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Run the following on MacOS 10.13.6:

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    RocksDB.loadLibrary();
    Options options = new Options().setCreateIfMissing(true);
    String path = "/Users/victoria.xia/tmp/tempRocksDB";

    RocksDB db = null;
    try {
      db = RocksDB.open(options, path);
    } catch (RocksDBException e) {

    }

    db.close();
    options.close();
  }

The above error is produced if the dependency is

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.rocksdb</groupId>
    <artifactId>rocksdbjni</artifactId>
    <version>5.18.4</version>
</dependency>

but not with

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.rocksdb</groupId>
    <artifactId>rocksdbjni</artifactId>
    <version>5.18.3</version>
</dependency>

It looks like the API of libSystem changed on the Mac build system between releases 5.18.3 and 5.18.4.

You have two options I think:

1. Upgrade to a newer MacOS
2. Build the Java artifacts from source
