Thanks for the confirmation! Then specifying triplets manually on Apple 
Silicon will be the workaround I will put in the release notes, until we 
get proper autotools support (hopefully) with the next release.

If you are unhappy with /usr/local, you can always specify custom prefix 
with --prefix=$HOME/opt/mc or so.

Unfortunately, the author disappeared as suddenly as he appeared and the 
patch was left unfinished - thus it will not make it in this release.

I've put our chief warning officer on CC, hopefully he can say something 
about that - apparently our compiler flag detection is not working 
correctly and warning flags are supplied even though they are not 
supported by the compiler...

Could you please post the complete build log as a compressed attachment?
