I am not 100% up to speed on what's broken yet.

Just for clarifications, we have to compile our nightly builds with the
oldest SDK we want to support, not the newest.  The issues we've had when
10.11, 10.12, and 10.13 came out were all issues where users on the new
version were unable to compile KiCad without special patches (either to
KiCad or to the dependencies)

I am surprised we have issues running our old binaries rather than in
compilation, but in computers, not only do things not work consistently,
they don't even break consistently! :)
