Interestingly, `iconv -l` doesn't show 'MAC ROMAN' on my GNU/Linux
box, which comes with `iconv` from GNU libc 2.31.  Anyway, FontForge
checks for an encoding called 'Mac' (which should be the same as
'MAC').

Please do

```
make bytecode VERBOSE=1
```

and show the relevant warning and/or error messages.  What exactly do
you mean with 'hanged'?

You could manually disable the offending error message in FontForge
(file `fontforge/encoding.c`).  However, I can't imagine that such a
serious build problem hasn't been addressed already or at least
mentioned in FontForge's issue tracker (which is ont, AFAICS).
