Problems building with RocksDB v7.0.3 installed (MacOS)

[moodyjon]

Filing this for informational purposes, as the real problem is how homebrew package manager gives no option to install a lower version of rocksdb (e.g. 6.29.5). Basically your only choice is to install the latest version.

I worked around this by upgrading grocksdb linkage to match the rocksdb that I have at the moment.
