Check compatibility with macOS deployment target during JIT builds #134291

Description

@zanieb

As with #100384, we should ensure that symbols use is guarded or the interpreter will crash at runtime on older macOS platforms.

There are a couple violations for a target of 10.15 (which we agreed on in #128155):
