The problem is that there are two files for hythr that are written for the
GNU assembler... clearly os/x is using a non-compatible assembler so either
the assembler should be converted for os/x or a version of GNU binutils/as
should be used instead of the default assembler.

To complicate matters, this hythr code wont actually be used by the federated
build only the drlvm version will be used so you could find a way to force the
build to proceed without building this code and worry about the similar 
problems you might find with the drlvm code.

We really should get the federated build/drlvm using hy.no.thr mode where the
VM provides the thread library rather than portlib/classlib.

-Mark.

When I run 'as -version' from the console, this is what I get, if
that's of interest.

Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-667.3~21, GNU assembler version 1.38

If I were to consider the path of building a hythr for OS X, what
files would I be looking at?
