Describe the bug

xmake fails to build on Apple Silicon (macOS ARM) Homebrew/homebrew-core#68773
make build fails

Error output

compile:
    plat:		macosx
    arch:		x86_64
    host:		macosx

then

make[3]: *** [tbox/src/tbox/platform/file.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: *** [DEP_PROS_tbox_all] Error 2
: note: 'stat' declared here
int     stat(const char *, struct stat *) __DARWIN_INODE64(stat);

Related Environment

Please provide compiling and running environment information:

• xmake version: 2.3.9
• os: macOS 11.1
• target platform: Apple Silicon

Passing BUILD_ARCH=arm64 to make build leads to the same error in tbox/src/tbox/platform/file.o

Lack of luajit autogen files for macos/arm64, I need to compile the luajit source code on apple m1, then extract its autogen files, such as lj_vm.S lj_libdef.h and other files, and put them in the xmake/core/src/luajit/autogen/macosx/jit/arm64 directory.

But I don’t have a macos/arm device and environment to extract these files.

An exception occurred within a child process:
Error: xmake: failed
BuildError: Failed executing: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/xmake/1_1/bin/xmake create test

I have solved all compile issues, but it can’t run, and no any errors.

I fixed link error on macOS arm, but next error

error: ...mebrew/Cellar/xmake/1_1/share/xmake/core/_xmake_main.lua:0: attempt to compare two table values

ohmm..

It seems that luajit is not yet able to support m1 well, as I have not apple silicon device, I cannot test it further.

I will consider switching to lua vm through optional configuration in 2.5.2

@fxcoudert I have supported apple m1, and it works for me.

you can switch url to https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/releases/download/v2.3.9/xmake-v2.3.9.m1.tar.gz
and modify shasum to 25a8fc39c6859854d26cec918eca94e16427d76870a9f29f4b302f7d300674a2 and try it again.
