Build fail for electron and macOS M1 + Homebrew

[correnson]

Describe the bug
Can not rebuild zeromq with electron on mac M1, although using exactly the same configuration on mac x64 does work.

Reproducing

yarn add/rebuild zeromq

Detailed log can be found in discussion.

Tested on

• macOS M1 (arm64)
• homebrew/zeromq 4.3.4 for arm64
• electron 15.3.0 and many others
• node 16.12.0 and many others
• ZeroMQ.js versions 5.x and 6.x

Detailed log message: build.log

From this build log, it seems that configuration step fails and does not recognize the M1 versions of Xcode or Homebrew tools, but maybe I'm wrong. However, I shall point out that all my other native projects fairly compiles with this config, hence I think the Xcode & Homebrew install are OK.

The bug seems not to depend on specific versions of electron or zeromq. I tried many of them with exactly the same log.

I'm also having this issue on M1 Max, with the exactly same error and similar specs

That exact error message I find here:

Does the "acid test" work for you?
