I may be able to test on MacOS, though my primary machine is stuck back on 10.11 -- I have access to another that can run High Sierra or Mojave, so I may be able to give it go there.

I looked at both my FreeBSD (11.2) and OpenBSD (6.3) boxes -- attempting to compile the vlc git head on either of those fails.
Are they supposed to be supported?

OpenBSD compiles fail because there's no clock_nanosleep():

posix/thread.c:595:12: error: implicit declaration of function 'clock_nanosleep' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    while (clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, TIMER_ABSTIME, &ts, NULL) == EINTR);
           ^

I suppose one could fake that out with nanosleep(), though that's not ideal.

FreeBSD compiles fail because there's no strerror_l():

  CC       posix/error.lo
posix/error.c:51:23: error: implicit declaration of function 'strerror_l' is invalid in C99
      [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    const char *buf = strerror_l(errnum, loc);
                      ^

Patching around that does manage to create an executable that can at least run "vlc --help" without error.

I haven't done any VLC related development in about 10 years -- what's the best way to pick up a consistent set of your patches that will apply to the git head (I think your last one failed when I tried to apply it on its own) ?
