Address possible issues building or running Nodeos on Apple's new ARM processor.

Issue:

Apple M1 | MacBook Pro 2020, running Rosetta 2

When installing EOSIO with Homebrew, the following error is thrown: eosio: The intel architecture is required for this software. Error: An unsatisifed requirement failed this build.

Steps to recreate:

brew tap eosio/eosio brew install eosio

You can get things running using brew if you follow this guide for installing a 2nd version of brew for Rosetta 2 - I wrote a simple guide:

https://benobi.one/posts/running_brew_on_m1_for_x86/

Once you have the ibrew alias, you can run:

ibrew tap eosio/eosio ibrew install eosio

cleos and other EOS software will run normally

Are there any updates? It's 6 months later, and 9 month after Silicon has shipped.

I mean all Macs are switching over to silicon so it's unavoidable to do it at some point - might as well do it now?

I can't imagine it takes all that much work - it just needs to be made to compile on Big Sur and later, and then it should just work...
