Not yet.

I saw this yesterday and I have not had a chance to fetch it and try. I forgot
to kick off the install last night.

Sure. I have a machine here for just this purpose.

The only recent issue I have seen is with APFS on high end MacBooks with large
solid state disks. I thought we had a patch to work around the issue but I
cannot find it in the RSB and I was building tools on that machine on the
weekend without a problem so something must have been fixed.

The only other problem I know of is a BSD vs GNU sed issue on FreeBSD and MacOS...
