I tried this on my mid-2012 Macbook Pro running 10.11.6 (El Capitan),
the problem arises when running gprconfig (all the Alire-provided
releases were built against a later Xcode (Google suggests 11.4 or
later??) which does provide this symbol). I dare say it'd happen running
the compiler too.

Only suggestion: install one of my builds, set it on your PATH, run alr
toolchain --select & choose the 'gnat_external' line for the
compiler. Alire then chooses a compatible gprbuild.
