While the issue with check-exec-image is being discussed (and the 
discussion is outside of my skillset) can't you do something like the 
following in src/makemake.in

   # don’t run check-exec-image on Darwin
   # CHECK_DEPS="check-recompile check-fresh-line check-script 
check-exec-image check-tests"
   case "$host_os"  in
     darwin* )
        CHECK_DEPS="check-recompile check-fresh-line check-script 
check-tests"
       ;;
     * )
         CHECK_DEPS="check-recompile check-fresh-line check-script 
check-exec-image check-tests"
       ;;
   esac

Works at least for me, don't know how others check result
