The FSF GCC does not support Objective-C "blocks" (that is, the
statements inside "^{...}" [1]).  On an old macOS, you need to use the
compiler that Apple used to ship (an extended version of FSF GCC that
does support blocks), or, if you're brave, try to compile "clang" and
use that.

Maybe it would be possible to remove the blocks from macfont.m and to
use an equivalent.
