Building the latest master with Xcode 8.3.3 and SDK 10.12 on macOS 10.13 creates an m4 in /Users/Shared/xbmc-depends/x86_64-darwin17.0.0-native/bin/m4 that will stop running with error

Illegal instruction: 4

f.e.during the build of Kodi build depends it will lead to

Code:

/Users/Shared/xbmc-depends/x86_64-darwin17.0.0-native/bin/m4 ./asm.m4 machine.m4 config.m4 aes-decrypt-internal.asm >aes-decrypt-internal.s
/bin/sh: line 1: 72710 Illegal instruction: 4  /Users/Shared/xbmc-depends/x86_64-darwin17.0.0-native/bin/m4 ./asm.m4 machine.m4 config.m4 aes-decrypt-internal.asm > aes-decrypt-internal.s
make[4]: *** [aes-decrypt-internal.o] Error 132
make[3]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: *** [macosx10.12_x86_64-target-debug/libnettle.a] Error 2
make[1]: *** [nettle] Error 2
make: *** [target/.installed-macosx10.12_x86_64-target-debug] Error 2

seems removing the built /Users/Shared/xbmc-depends/x86_64-darwin17.0.0-native/bin/m4 file and replacing it with a link to /usr/bin/m4 will solve the problem but it is just a workaround

This happens all the time on osx switch - can't remember what exactly it was but has to do with buildsystem detecting osx 10.13 while only older sdks are available in xcode ... zhere must be a commit from me somewhere around the time sierra was released which fixes native building with older sdks (it was tar-native which had the same issue at that time iirc).

i've tried to build with the latest (10.13) SDK and using Xcode9 too, but that fails immediately in ./configure unfortunately

Add

Code:

10.13);;

in the line after https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/c1d3be...re.ac#L324 to allow 10.13 sdk.
But this will most likely cause build issues as no one has tested sdk 10.13 yet.
