To be honest I am not very surprised that the build of this outdated port fails on an OS that is so much newer than any Mac OS I can run (10.13).

I thought I did a PR months ago that changed the port to pull an official Audacity DMG and install it from there, but can't seem to find it. I'll have to cross my fingers that I still have a copy of those changes locally, on my Mac!

Fails on arm64 regardless of OS version; builds OK on Ventura x86_64.
