That's more in place on grub-devel.

obconv is used when using Apple linker instead of GNU ld (mesage is
misleading here). If you installed all requirements, you should also
have binutils which includes GNU ld and GCC. In this case any reason you
do not use them?

I suppose it is possible to build grub using native Apple cc/ld, in
which case it probably becomes relevant.

Sure, I just wonder if someone can name more specific version requirements.
