--------------------+--------------------
 crossgdb-1.0.tcl explicitly limits building of cross-gdb to x86-64 hosts,
 due to the fact gdb does not currently support target of macos/arm64.

 But that is really not the case with cross-gdb and e.g. arm-none-eabi
 target -- this is non-native gdb, and as such builds fine on macos. One
 can successfully build and install an arm-none-eabi-gdb port just by
 removing the supported_archs limitation in crossgdb-1.0.tcl on Big Sur
 arm64.
