cmake: cannot execute binary file in mac build

[ggould-tri]

What happened?

A CI build failed with the error:

[3:16:20 AM]  /bin/sh: /opt/homebrew/bin/cmake: cannot execute binary file
[3:16:20 AM]  make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/drake_cxx_python.dir/all] Error 126
[3:16:20 AM]  make: *** [all] Error 2

This is described in slack as having happened twice before:
