--------------------------+-------------------------
 Building the tools with a recent MacOS such as Ventura failed because
 Apple has removed support for embedded python in programs. This means GDB
 does not build. The solution is to teach the RSB GDB support to use a
 build of Python from https://www.python.org/.

 The RSB failed to build gcc on the M series processors on Ventura using
 Xcode 14.2. The build gcc crosscompiler (`xgcc`) crashes with sig faults.
 GCC does not bootstrap on ARM systems:
 {{{
 *** Configuration aarch64-apple-darwin22.3.0 not supported
 }}}
 Look at supporting Homebrew built `gcc`.
