Well, yeah. I debugged this problem on a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro on Mojave
10.14.6. That's why I said it probably **''wouldn't''** show up on an
Apple Silicon device. It ''will'' show up on an Intel Mac on Catalina or
lower.
I also suspect that this wouldn't show up on macOS 11+, Intel or Apple
Silicon. I think Apple changed `libcxxabi` in that release to tolerate
multiple definitions of type info data, by defining the preprocessor
symbol `_LIBCXXABI_FORGIVING_DYNAMIC_CAST` when building `libcxxabi`. And
in fact, when I try KiCad on an Intel Mac running Sonoma without the
patch, it works just fine. For this reason, I suspect that help from
upstream would be less than forthcoming, since KiCad 7 officially doesn't
support any version of macOS prior to 11. But, one will never know unless
one actually asks. The fact that exceptions would still be broken on Intel
even with `_LIBCXXABI_FORGIVING_DYNAMIC_CAST` is probably a point in favor
of asking.
