cannot build a release on Apple Silicon (Mac M3 Pro)

[pietroppeter]

I tried building (with nimble release) on a Mac M3 Pro and it errors out. Seeing the state of the original fork this is not unexpected (see e.g. dom96/choosenim#301). Adding the error I get below.

I am not sure what is the current state of this fork, would be happy to help and try test fixes if there are some ready.

I noticed also choosenim depends on a fixed nimble commit.
