>it builds universal binaries

Are these workloads comparable? It could very well be that macOS is doing more compilation. If you wanted a fair comparison, you could run Linux on both and compile in that.

Even if building for macOS requires more overall work, I wouldn't say this constitutes a "real-life" comparison because the output product is different.

Building on the M1 Mac is probably starved for memory, linkers have an appetite for it especially on larger projects

Memory could be an issue as I have 8 Gb on that machine.

95% of code is the same on all platforms.
