 This message was also encountered when cross compiling for iOS and
 [https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/17873 reported to conan], and
 also allegedly when building only for x86_64 on an x86_64 machine as
 [https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/51171 reported to vcpkg]. Both
 reports suggest setting `subsystem = 'macos'` should work, but also that
 this should be the default when not cross-compiling.

 something that is supposed to work.

 Yes, in general, building a port +universal for arm64+x86_64 on macOS
 11–26 is supposed to work.
