Details:

After the upgrade of macOS to Big Sur 11.2.3 with Xcode 12.4 there are many
problems during the installation of a number of programs. I had to remove zip
and unzip from the prerequisites of tar (so they are not installed). After
that I was able to fix several of the problems by just upgrading the version
of those programs. In particular, I had to upgrade: 

bash  5.0.18 -> 5.1
perl  5.32.0 -> 5.32.1
less  563    -> 580 (this is a beta release!)

But then, when it goes to install Git, it crashes. Even after upgrading it to
the latest version:

git 2.28.0 -> 2.31.0

The last and relevant lines of the crash are:
