Description

When I run python3 setup.py build, it builds for quite a while (with plenty of warnings and a few errors) until it finally just stops with this error:
[there are a lot of warnings before this, but below is where it stops dead]

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with python3 setup.py build and inspect the make output around libvl.a(mathop_avx.c.o) and the final make: *** [all] Error 2. Start with setup.py and the native build invoked by build_c_extension; done means the macOS build completes successfully without this error.
