I just figured out that I can install MacPorts' "coreutils" package, whic=
h
provides the GNU version of "mktemp".

Furthermore, by using MacPorts' "legacy-support" package, the missing
"readlinkat" system call will be provided. (I will need to learn how to u=
se this
package.)

Therefore no more blocking issues on supporting GCL 2.7 in earlier macOS
versions. You don't need to do anything here.

In general, I think it's totally reasonable for GCL to depend on some oth=
er GNU
tooling packages (on macOS), including GCC (if necessary).
