Just wanted to ping this issue, as I see the gerrit patch was abandoned?
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/86216/2

The builds should be compiled with the ./autogen.sh --with-macosx-sdk=10.13 option so we can have proper releases on macOS again

It’s now close to a year since the last working major release, 6.2, for a majority of macOS users

Best,
Eivind
