For the record, I have now pushed an updated development branch (based off upstream r13-4309-g309e2d95e3b9) which builds c-family, fortran and Ada on
 - x86_64 [Darwin20] (with cross and native cross to aarch64), using XC CLT  12.5
 - x86_64 Rosetta 2 [Darwin21] bootstrap and cross, using XC CLT 14.1RC + macOSX12 sdk.
 - aarch64 [Darwin21] native (assuming you have an existing aarch64 darwin GCC bootstrap), using XC CLT 14.1RC + macOSX12 sdk.***

.. I’ve fixed up the DFP and testcases (although clang does not support _DecimalXX on aarch64 Darwin, so maybe it’s of limited use) .. but at least that source of testsuite noise is eliminated.

cheers
Iain

*** note that we have some issues with the macOS13 SDK still to be resolved so make sure you use the 12 version on macOS 12 (at least).
