​https://ports.macports.org/port/zig/details/ shows that zig also fails to build on the arm64 versions of Monterey and Big Sur due the same issue.

Same on 13.0.1

ProductName:		macOS
ProductVersion:		13.0.1
BuildVersion:		22A400

[kencu (Ken)]

removing a patchfile seems to work for some. See ticket:65333

[breun (Nils Breunese)]

Does this mean I need to build a custom LLVM port?

[kencu (Ken)]

there is more information in the other ticket, so what say we re-open that and close this, to keep it all in one place?

[breun (Nils Breunese)]

i0ntempest said the following about this ticket in ticket:65333: “That's a different error, though might be caused by the same thing (the emutls patch for llvm).” I don’t know if this is a duplicate or not.

The other ticket was also already closed, even though arm64 builds wet still failing on the buildbots, so I created this new ticket, but I see it’s been reopened now.

[kencu (Ken)]

yes

[kencu (Ken)]

what's in this ticket is a small subset of the information there, which is more useful.
