gtk-osx works fine on BigSur, though not all dependencies yet work on Apple Silicon (especially those that 
use assembler, no surprise).

gtk-osx hasn't supported Gtk 3.6.4 nor Xcode 6.3 for at least 5 years so you're obviously not using it to 
build Bluefish. Maybe you should start...

FWIW, GnuCash and Gramps *do* use gtk-osx to build their Mac bundles and they do work well on BigSur, 
including in Rosetta2 on Apple Silicon.
