Possibly the Gnulib workaround for the macOS faccessat bug does not work
in older macOS versions. For example, the Gnulib workaround calls the
function 'access' on platforms lacking faccessat, and faccessat is
missing and 'access ("foo/", F_OK)' ignores the trailing slash in older
macOS versions, then that could explain the problem.
Suppose my guess is right. Then, if this problem occurs because the
emacsformacosx.com build is for OS X 10.9 or earlier, then a simple fix
is to have emacsformacosx.com build for OS X 10.10 or later, because
Emacs can't reasonably support OS versions that Apple itself does not
support <https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00798.html>. On
the other hand, if the problem occurs on OS X 10.10 or later, then
someone should hack on the Gnulib workaround so as to port the
workaround to OS X 10.10. I can volunteer to do the hacking in my spare
time, but I don't have easy access to OS X 10.10 so someone else would
need to test it.
