Well, I just tried, and it was different for me: both on Intel and Apple
silicon any attempt to compile (or use git ...) failed dismally
somewhere in Xcode. On Apple silicon, I thought it was a failed update
so deleted Xcode and installed the command line tools, OK. Now, on
Intel, going to move Xcode out of the way ... and building with the
CLTs (version 14.0.0.0.1.1661618636) works fine.
