Cannot build on macOS 10.15

[jochenhz]

I've installed automake and gcc through homebrew. When running

./autogen.sh && ./configure --target=darwin && make

I get the following output ending with an error message:

glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'build-aux'.

glibtoolize: Consider adding 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])' to configure.ac,

Thanks for posting. MacOS should work with yasm. Looks like we need to port a fix for this from isa-l since nasm on mac doesn't support types on symbols.

[jochenhz]

Cool, thanks. Let me know when I can test something!

[gbtucker]

@J0Nes90, Got a potential fix in. Can you test from the tip?

[jochenhz]

@gbtucker it builds just fine, thanks!

[gbtucker]

Great, I'll close the issue then. Thanks for testing.
