Build Issues on Mac 10.11.6

Hi!

I’m having issues building HDF5 1.10.1 on OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6, the homebrew version worked find with clang with my test application, but with the latest gcc and g++ I was having an issue that I was able to duplicate updating. Somewhere on the internet it recommended rebuilding from scratch the hdf5 libraries

Here I’m trying to use gcc and g++ version 7.2.0:
$ gcc-7 --version

$ make -j 5

Making all in test
  CCLD testhdf5

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Looks like when I built GNU binutils 2.29 and installed them, which come to find out installs ‘ar’ and ‘ranlib’ but does not install a linker ‘ld’ MAC OSX it isn’t supported. So I had to remove the 2.29 versions and use ‘ar’,’ranlib’, and ‘ld’ from /usr/bin
