Yeah, that's one of the problems with FIPS testing for OS X. We almost
always have to tweak the build process for new OS X and/or Xcode versions.

The build process we used and documented for the formal validation
testing can only be expected to work for exactly the same version of OS
X and Xcode we used. That ties with WinCE/EC as the most fragile and
challenging of FIPS platforms to build for.

Unfortunately I can't; I've let our Apple developer subscription lapse
and can't justify spending time on this until/if we hear from a new OS X
or iOS platform sponsor (which probably will happen eventually). Even
when I do work on such testing I usually have to call on my smarter
colleagues for assistance.

There are others who may be able to help, for instance Jeff Walton.
