Homebrew works today (w/ build all packages instead of prebuilt bottles available), however they have a policy of not having downstream patches, so that source trees upstream have to have the Apple Silicon patches.

For packages such as GCC, that of course will take a lot of time. For Java, there are other supported runtimes like Azul Zulu, but Homebrew just wants OpenJDK and not much else.



Perhaps Homebrew Cask might be receptive to alternative Java runtimes?


You need them to be registered on Homebrew as the Java package, if just for dependency resolving...


Perhaps they could (ab)use the versioning system, vending it as openjdk@azul or something? I'm not an expert on how Homebrew does dependency resolution.
