Greetings, Ben.

The current gcc-git does not support Apple silicon.  However Iain Sandoz 
is porting gcc to Apple.  His repository may be fetched from 
https://github.com/iains/gcc-darwin-arm64.git.  Required s/w was 
obtained from Homebrew.  I use the following configuration script, which 
puts the binaries in ~/gcc/arm -- you may wish to change this to another 
directory.

CC=/opt/homebrew/bin/gcc-13 \
CXX=/opt/homebrew/bin/g++-13 \
../../src/gcc-darwin-arm64/configure \
--prefix=$HOME/gcc/arm \
--exec-prefix=$HOME/gcc/arm  \
--enable-languages=c,c++,m2 \
--with-sysroot=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.3.sdk \
--with-mpc=/opt/homebrew \
--with-gmp=/opt/homebrew \
--with-mpfr=/opt/homebrew \
--disable-bootstrap \
--enable-threads=posix

Note that gdb has yet to be ported, though.

Sincerely,
john
