Do you mean changing that would break support for Apple's System serie
of operating systems?

Is there anyone on the list that can confirm such systems can still
build current gnuplot sources?

sources in MacPorts and they all use __APPLE__, these are macros on my
system:

$ gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep -i "APPLE\|MAC\|DAR"
#define __APPLE_CC__ 5664
#define __APPLE__ 1
#define __VERSION__ "4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)"
#define __ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__ 1066
#define __MACH__ 1

Even if there weren't fonts an existing empty directory is still
better than a directory not existing at all.

Anyway those are defaults paths for font on OS X, they are
respectively: system, installation specific and user fonts.
