Hi Joseph,

Oh noes, you seem to be running Apple Silicon and the autotools in Fedora 
Rawhide do not support it yet.

Could you please try specifying the triplets by hand? If this works, then 
this would be the workaround until newer autotools propagate to major 
Linux distributions - I would be very scared of bootstrapping the official 
tarballs on macOS with custom Apple-patched autotools...

$ CC="/usr/bin/cc" \
  CFLAGS="-target arm64-apple-macos11" \
  ./configure \
    --host=aarch64-apple-darwin \
    --target=aarch64-apple-darwin \
    --build=aarch64-apple-darwin

Thanks!
