Well, I'd say it's up to you guys what you want to do; I'd reccomend
against 1 just in case there are future security fixes.

If you want help debugging why it doesn't work on a particular version
of MacOS, then I'd suggest sending (a link to) a complete build log and
all of the versions of the relevant tools and packages to the list. I
still can't promise anything, but maybe somebody will spot what's going
wrong.

Unfortunately we don't have any MacOS users very involved with notmuch
development, so these issues tend to be a bit slow to resolve.
