       | Sadly, this is a big problem.

       | But, Rosetta is incredible.
       | 
       | My solution for now: build only on Intel based Macs and use the
       | binaries everywhere, with Rosetta when needed.
       | 
       | I've had lots of errors running all kinds of builds with "error,
       | arm64 code..." it's not a solved problem by a long shot.
       | 
       | Until the prevalence of M1/M2 is overwhelming, I'm just going to
       | stick with Intel builds.

       | 
       | Different steps, but looking for the same outcome.

       | Thanks.
