So, to summarize:

It turns out the issue is with xib files that contain a custom view (no window), a table view, and which has a deployment target (presumably less than macOS 11), for those, ibtool will create a directory.

Hard to believe this is anything but a bug in latest Xcode, but as a workaround, I have now removed deployment target from all xib files.

Regarding `/opt/homebrew`: If you run `./configure` then it now creates a default `local.rave` containing:

add FLAGS "-I/usr/local/include" add LN_FLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"

Then it complains that it cannot find dependencies.

Edit `local.ninja` with your M1 homebrew paths and then re-run `./configure`, and it should hopefully work.

Personally I get build dependencies from nixpkgs, there are people who use MacPorts, and then there is non-M1 homebrew, so I think it is fair that if dependencies are not in `/usr/local` then the user will have to manually edit the file, because `./configure` can quickly become a mess if it has to try everything.
