Building Elixir from source segfaults on macOS on Apple Silicon while compiling

Yes, it works mostly fine under Rosetta. However, it is also precisely the area where you don't really want a translation layer, because you're spending a lot of time doing heavy compute.

That makes sense. I'm hoping it's going to be an early adopter problem that'll have been solved by the time the transition is deemed complete.

Many compute heavy tasks are using Metal and those should continue to function at the full speed of the hardware.

I doubt GCC is, or even could be, using Metal.

I am referring to modern HPC like workloads, they will be using the GPU. Not saying GCC is using Metal in any way whatsoever.

HPC on macOS? Using Metal instead of CUDA/OpenCL? Sounds extremely rare.
